yes there is. The Texas Seccesionist Party, Do not know if they still exist under that name.

texas is the only state that can actually decide to leave the Union. The others are , by virtue of their rescinding their original (civil war era) secession once they joined back up, not allowed to sesceed (sp?).
texas, to this end, has kept very smart about this. texas is the only state in the USA that has it's own electrical power grid. It cold be completely cut off from the grid of the USA and function erfectly well. all other states are integrated so as to amke this impossible.

Since we were the only Republic, with full ambassadors, diplomacy, foreign allies, etc (even if it was for less than a few decades) to ever join the USA, we reserve the right to leave if we so choose in our state Constitution.

what sucks is that Maine blue-blood third cousins to the ex prime minister Blair, and 5th cousins o the British royal line, the BUSH family, has fooled everyone into thinking they are TEXANS. that ruins our rep.
