I thought (and Clod or Flint can correct me here) that as part of Texas' statehood agreement lo those many years ago succession was always a possibility for them. They were so big and their hats, my god! were even bigger; I thought it was written into the Texas constitution of statehood or whatever the hell you call it that they COULD succeed anytime they wanted.

Texas, we hardly knew ye.

also, Key West tried to succeed but the stoners couldn't get it together to do it. They called themselves the Conch Republic. They were sick of cruise ships and their ilk walking their streets.
