The debate over secession at the 2016 Texas State Republican Party Convention video has been released.
You can watch and listen at this link.

The proposal was defeated by the platform committee 16 to 14. Fairly close I think for a party that claims to be patriotic.
The relevance is that the Texas Nationalist Movement is planning to get some measure passed at the 2018 Texas State Republican Party convention.

What is in this movements favor is there is no longer the presidential campaign of Ted Cruz to ferociously oppose it.
Against it is that Donald Trump did get elected president and to advocate secession would undermine him, and the potential base for secession is largely the same people who support Donald Trump.
The Republican Party state convention is June 14, 2018.
As I have explained before, the secession movement would only start up if its potential base lost hope in Trump or the Republican party's current ascendancy in national politics, or the federal government passing gun control legislation. None of these things is going to happen between now and the June 14, 2018 Republican Party state convention.
If, and I emphasize if, there is some "blue wave," in the 2018 Nov. elections, then the Texas secessionist movement will start gaining traction.
These page and video links are posted so people know what is surfacing in the Texas Republican Party.
This is the link for the Republican Party state convention.
