You raised a good question about Texas, antryg.
There was a grassroots movement to secede from the nation a few times in the last few decades. They would rather be their own country than be beholden to anyone. Besides, this is the only state that is completely self-sufficient.
Now to break in up into 6 new states, I don't see Texans doing that. They like being among the biggest states as far as I can tell. Mind you, I am still new here and haven't gotten a real feel for this, so I will find some natives to ask and get back to you.
My own feeling would be that it would create more problems than it would solve. But that is only my first impression. (Too much paperwork!)
