Advocates for Texas' secession from the United States believe they are on the verge of scoring a crucial victory.
The Texas Republican Party's executive committee is set to vote over the weekend on which ballot propositions voters will decide during the Republican primary elections in March 2024. One measure would ask Republican voters, "Should the State of Texas reassert its status as an independent nation?"
Ahead of the vote, the Texas Nationalist Movement, an organization that supports Texas' independence from the U.S., warned the GOP they have enough signatures to force a vote on the question of whether they support secession.
Texas nationalists have for years pushed for a referendum on Texas secession, despite the fact there is no provision for a state to secede in the U.S. Constitution. The state seceded from Mexico in 1836 and spent nine years as its own nation before becoming a U.S. state. It also seceded from the Union in 1861 before being readmitted following the end of the Civil War in 1870.

If Texas was stupid enough to leave the Union (didn't we have a little disagreement on that back in 1861?) say good bye to all the US military bases there, plus any and all Federal agencies.
From one source
Texas
• Net federal funding: $304 per resident
• Total revenue from fed. gov.: $269.0 billion (2nd most)
• SNAP benefit recipiency: 12.0 percent (tied - 23rd highest)
• Median household income: $59,206 (23rd highest)
Just from the military bases
The Texas Comptroller study found that the 15 major military installations located in Texas generate more than $136.6 billion in economic activity here each year, and add $81.4 billion to our gross state product (Exhibit 1). They also generate $48.1 billion in annual personal income and support, directly and indirectly, nearly 806,000 Texas jobs.
