Texas can, and should, secede. Every state should secede. The Articles of Confederation were the original means of government - states' rights trump (no pun intended) everything else.
Every state joined the Union voluntarily. Thus, every state has the right to leave voluntarily. We'd be better off as 1000 independent states where people can "vote with their feet" than 50 states subject to authoritarianism from a federal overlord. When states operate independently, people leave jurisdictions that don't work. It's capitalism for politics. That doesn't exist now. We should absolutely support independence of all states to govern themselves (and succeed or fail based on their policies).

How can Texas be beholden to a people which refuse to follow their own laws?
How can ANY state be beholden to a people which refuse to follow their own laws?
