No, Texas can not and never has had the right to secede. Here i have from 2 sorses to prove my point.

"THAT IT IS THE MANIFEST DETERMINATION OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THAT NO STATE, OF ITS OWN WILL, HAS A RIGHT OR POWER TO GO OUT OF OR SEPARATE ITSELF FROM, OR BE SEPARATED FROM THE AMERICAN UNION; and that, therefore, each State ought to remain and constitute an integral part of the United States"

"The fact is, the treaty under which Texas joined the U.S. provides that it could be divided into five separate states. But it is not empowered to leave the union, a question that the Civil War seems to have settled once and for all."

Here is the reality...

Do you really believe that if Texans or the citizens of any state of the Union for that matter were to decide they will secede from the Union, that any previous agreement will stop that secession?

As for Texas specifically, the Federal Government has little real financial hold on the state nor any sure way short of all out war to prevent the State of Texas' right and duty to defend its citizen's God given and US Constitution ensured rights against a tyrannical and over-reaching government. The latter is enshrined in the Texas Constitution and, if you are paying attention, in the US CONSTITUTION!

Only "legal sheep" would believe that such a limp and questionable legal standing would hold on that state. Consider the state of Wisconsin and quickly thereafter several other states saying "no" to the Federal Governement mandates on Welfare just a short few years ago.

Get Real!!

In addition, with the Federal Government continual in arguable violation at an accelerated rate of the US Constitution via taxation without representation for spending and programs which have nothing to do with that Constitution and in favor of citizens from other states against the wishes and rights of the citizens of the aggrieved state, the Federal Government has an increasingly shaky legal basis from which to stand.

As Texas is the only that is legally allowed to do so, it is always possible. Unfortunately, the future is difficult to predict.
