Yes, if at will means having the will to follow through with whatever is needed to enforce separation. Texas was recognized as an independent Republic by the United States before joining, therefore it would have a legal leg to stand on for separation.
It does not exist

There is no annexation treaty of Texas, but James Polk was President when Texas was annexed by joint resolution of Congress.
Yes, but it was never ratified. Texas joined the U. S. by a joint resolution of Congress, that was then ratified by popular vote in Texas. The treaty does not control, the resolution and vote do.
The disputed annexation and borders of Texas.
Texas declared independence from Mexico in 1836. After this, many Texans were in favor of becoming a separate entity from the United States. President John Tyler pursued the annexation of Texas as the 28th state in the Union as a way of gaining support for his second term.
The Annexation of Texas by the US was a major cause and the result of the war was Mexican Cession and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
Texas wanted to secede from the Union.
A quick search with Google brings up a lot of posts proclaiming this, but no reference what so ever to this "treaty" in any law library or archive.So what would the facts be?First here are the dates of admission into the United States of the areas in question.Louisiana Apr 30, 1812 Arkansas Jun 15, 1836 Texas Dec 29, 1845 Oklahoma Nov 16, 1907Second, you do not annex states, you annex territories. The Louisiana Purchase was signed into effect in 1803. This annexed the territories that would become Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, parts of Minnesota that were west of the Mississippi River, most of North Dakota, nearly all of South Dakota, northeasternNew Mexico, the portions of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado east of the Continental Divide, and Louisiana west of the Mississippi River, including the city of New Orleans. (The Oklahoma Panhandle, and southwestern portions of Kansas and Louisiana were still claimed by Spain at the time of the Purchase.)The Republic of Texas was supposed to be annexed in October 1845 as a Treaty of Annexation was the requirement in order to annex a sovereign nation. Texas became a state in December 1845 after statehood was granted by the U.S. Government, however, after research at the national archives of the United States and the state Capital of Texas, no Treaty of Annexation has ever been found and no vote by the people of Texas for Annexation was ever held.Third, Right to secede (from Texas Annexation)Neither the ordinance of annexation nor the joint resolution included provisions giving Texas the right to secede.[15] In its decision in Texas v. White in 1869, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Texas' secession in 1861 had been illegal. The Court held that "[t]he Constitution, in all its provisions, looks to an indestructible Union, composed of indestructible States." The court did allow that divisibility might be possible "through revolution, or through consent of the States."[16].Fourth, the only treaty in 1848 involving any of the states mentioned is the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which fully ended the Mexican-American War.The only other treaties created in 1848 are 3 treaties with Native American tribes: the 1848 Treaty with the Pawnee, the 1848 Treaty with the Menominee and the 1848 Treaty with the Stockbridge Tribe.So given these facts, there is really only one correct answer: These treaties do not exist.

The importance of the Texas Annexation is that Texas is now a state and Texas still has the power to split itself into four smaller states.
