Texans voted to secede from the Union on 2 March 1861 in a referendum.
This was against the advice of Sam Houston. Houston traveled Texas arguing that there may come a day for secession, but not at that time because, so far the USA had kept its promise to Texans. He urged, "If she does not whip you by guns, powder, and steel, she will starve you to death."
He also pointed out, "Texas will again lift its head and stand among the nations. It ought to do so, for no country upon the globe can compare with it in natural advantages."
