Have you ever heard the word “Texit”? It’s like “Brexit,” but for Texas! Some people believe Texas should become its own country again, just like before joining the United States in 1845. They believe Texas has the resources, economy, and independence to stand heartily on its own – the Lone Star State. But what does this mean? And why do people want it? Let’s find out!
Texans are proud of their history and culture. Many believe Texas should make its laws without interference from Washington, D.C. They want control over taxes, resources, and policies that affect their daily lives. Some supporters of Texit think that Texas could have a stronger economy if it operated separately. Others believe Texas should have more say in decisions about immigration, business, and energy production.
Separating on friendly terms is a lovely idea, but is it possible? The U.S. Constitution does not clearly say if a state can leave the country. Some legal experts believe Texas would need approval from the federal government to become independent. Some believe the Texas State Charter allows Texas to succeed at will. Others say Texas could hold a vote and decide for itself. This is why Texit remains a debate—there are many opinions on how it could happen. And it will.
If Texas became independent, many things would change. Texas boasts a strong economy, one of the largest in the world, thanks to oil and natural gas, agriculture, technology, and think tanks. It also has its power grid, making it different from most other states. Supporters believe that Texas could build its trade agreements, control its borders, and set its own rules without outside interference.
However, there would also be challenges. Texas will need its own military, currency, and international agreements. The transition would take time, and not everyone would agree on how to do it. Where does NATO sit?
Not all Texans support Texit. Shocker. Some believe Texas should remain part of the United States because of economic stability and federal resources. Others think working within the U.S. system is a better way to make changes. However, Texit supporters believe the time has come to rethink the relationship between Texas and the federal government of the United States of America. The Gulf of America notwithstanding.
Texit is about more than just Texas. It raises questions about states’ rights, federal power, and self-governance. Whether or not Texas ever leaves the U.S., the idea of Texit makes people think about the role of states and how they can shape their future and future generations. There is another conversation going on now that sounds like there may be some annexing in the future instead.
Texit is an ongoing discussion that sparks curiosity and debate. Charlie and Penny discuss the future while evading crowds and open spaces. He knows that their safety is entirely in his hands. No matter what happens, it’s clear that Texans are passionate about their state and its future with millions of immigrants, like locusts, flying in and settling on a tree branch with so many others until the bow breaks and they all move to another branch until it breaks, and so on… If you want to dive deeper or elevate higher you only have to shake that branch, and move, don’t just look, you must see. But be careful what you see. You may be called on one day to testify in a court of law. What did you see? And, what will you say?
The perfect book is the one that spins a story and wraps it around contemporary non-fiction scaffolding. It has to make you think about what could happen next.

The Framers of the Constitution envisioned that state governments, not the national government, would be the main unit of government.
