Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Texas became its own country again? That’s the big question behind the idea of Texit. It’s a concept rooted in Texas’ rich history and unique identity. Texas was once an independent nation, the Republic of Texas, before joining the United States in 1845. Now, some Texans dream of bringing back that independence in modern times. It’s a huge state but a small country, which makes it easier to govern. There is something to be said about colloquialism.
But why does this idea captivate so many people? Let’s delineate some reasons and the thought-provoking conversations it sparks.
Texas is unlike any other state. With its vast landscapes, diverse communities, and deep cultural roots, it has always had a proud and independent spirit. The TEXIT movement reflects this unique identity. For supporters, it’s not about separating for the sake of it—it’s about self-governance, preserving Texas traditions, and making decisions that directly benefit Texans.
Did you know Texas has its own power grid? Or that it once managed its own military? These are just a few examples of Texas’ history of autonomy.
But it’s not just about politics or economics. For many, it’s a matter of pride and identity. Texans often see themselves as bold, resilient, and capable—qualities that fuel the TEXIT movement.
This idea takes center stage in the novel TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion. The book follows Charlie O’Neal, a former Army Ranger turned security professional, as he becomes deeply involved in the TEXIT movement.
Through thrilling adventures, personal challenges, and unexpected alliances, Charlie’s journey highlights both the excitement and the complexities of pushing for independence. From political intrigue to heart-stopping action, the story captures the spirit of Texas while diving into themes of resilience, love, and justice.
Even if you’ve never considered Texas as an independent nation, the idea raises important questions. How should states and federal governments balance power? We seem to have lost our East Coast as well as our West Coast. How can communities preserve their unique cultures in a rapidly changing world under some kind of siege?
The TEXIT concept encourages readers to think about these issues, while also showcasing the strength and unity that Texans’ bloodline brings to the rodeo, with pioneers and cowboys, chili, and corn dogs.
TEXIT: The Hour of Our Disunion isn’t just a story about independence—it’s a celebration of Texas’ identity and a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities of self-governance.
