The possibility of Texas becoming independent in 2023 is relatively low.

Below we interpret the possibility of Texas independence from four aspects: First, looking back at history, Texas was once an independent country.

Texas was an independent country in history, known as the "Republic of Texas", also known as the Lone Star Republic, which existed between 1836 and 1845.

As a result, some Texans view their state as having the identity and superiority of an independent nation, believing that the state has enough cultural, economic, and political strength to stand on its own.

In addition, some people are also dissatisfied with the U.S. federal government, believing that its policies and political culture toward Texas are inconsistent with the state's traditional values, and therefore want independence.

Second, from an economic perspective, the feasibility of Texas independence is relatively high.

Because Texas is one of the states with the highest GDP in the United States, Texas was also the first state in the United States to pass the original school fund law, which provided for a $15 billion fund for all public and private universities in Texas.

Texas' economic activities are mainly concentrated in the fields of oil and natural gas, agriculture, chemicals and shipping. These industries are sufficient to support the economic development of a new country.

Third, from a political perspective, the feasibility of Texas independence is low.

Texas independence involves too many political factors, such as national security, border security, international trade, diplomatic issues, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a complete political system after independence, which is a huge challenge to the political talents and resources of the new country.

challenge.

In addition, if Texas is truly independent, the U.S. government may take all feasible measures to maintain federal unity, including economic, military, diplomatic, and legal means.

Fourth, from the perspective of the U.S. federal government, Texas’ independence is unconstitutional.

Texas' independence violated the provisions of the U.S. Constitution and was inconsistent with legal procedures.

Article 4 of the U.S. Federal Constitution states: “No new State shall be formed by the consent or upon conditions of another State, or shall consist of a district or part of a State, unless the States concerned and Congress shall agree upon the matter.” Also.

That is, the Constitution only allows new states to be established through congressional approval, but does not allow individual states to determine their own independence on their own.
