The Atlantic has this lengthy article about the Texas secession movement.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/12/the-secessionist/600739/
The article misses entirely that in 2016 they nearly got on the Republican Texas State Party platform a secession resolution. It seems the author didn't do any real indepth research and just wanted to do a colorful type story on an oddity.
I have set up this Facebook group to collect individuals opposed to Texas secession.

The biggest problem is that people don't think this effort has a remote chance of success, but they have come close to reaching an objective of getting a secession measure on the Texas primary ballot.
If Trump is defeated in 2020 they will be springing back to life. If Trump is elected they will be moribund.
I have blogged on this prior where I discuss this movement at length.
