That would be an attempt to secede form the Union.

Texas has the option if it wants.  It was independent country before joining the US.

And the validity of that claim will be an issue debated in 2024.

A note on this particular side topic, from experience...

In the past, Quebec looked like it seriously wanted to separate from Canada.   It didn't really matter whether it was technically allowed or not, it just made more sense to settle it in a clear, but peaceful, vote.  Better at the ballot box than in a war, or what have you.

If the assets and debts are fairly apportioned, let whatever a clear majority (in the particular Canadian Province or U.S. State) wants to do, do.  I.E. Just let them go, it's a lot easier.

Having said that (sort of like the Brits and the E.U.), trying to get permission to rejoin later, or enter into some type of economic (or other) "union", is quite a different matter.

In the case of Quebec, once the referendum actually happened, it seemed that more people wanted to complain, or threaten to leave, than were actually willing to "pull the plug", so to speak.  It didn't happen.

Sorry for this "side issue", but it's advice (from experience) that may come in handy for the U.S., should this particularly plausible prediction come true...

haha.  Then I would support a southern boarder wall - Eastern New Mexico, Southern Oklahoma, and Western Arkansas and Louisiana.
