They were their own country before they where a state. Same with Puerto Rico and Hawaii(kingdom).
A petition for Texas secession has qualified to receive a White House response.
As of Tuesday evening, the petition -- which asks for the peaceful withdrawal of the state of Texas from the union -- had racked up more than 81,000 signatures. (Only 25,000 are needed to elicit an official response from the Obama administration.)

The population of Texas is 601,723 according to the 2010 census. There are 333,435 people in Texas that recieve Welfare. That's more than half. If they secede, they LOSE that welfare. Most of the welfare recipients are sreaming about how they want to secede because that's what faux news tells them to shout.
Over 80% of the welfare recipients I know are die hard republicans yet they shout and scream about the economy. Makes very little sense. They are the problem they are upset about.
Let them secede, then see what happens when the federal checks stop coming in.

For reals California is the 8th largest economy in the WORLD. The feds could not do without our contribution unless they get rid of most of the welfare states in the South and the bible belt. I say let's do it! We will keep all of the Mexicans and give you all of our uneducated, ignorant, and illiterate angry white people. Deal!?

That's not even the population of Dallas?
Texas is more like 25 million.
The 333,000 number is correct, but that is less than 1.5%, not 50%.
