The Texas Nationalist Movement, once considered a quixotic fringe group, has added hundreds of members in the years since the election of Barack Obama. According to the Houston Chronicle's Dylan Baddour, at least 10 county GOP chapters are coming to the convention supporting independence resolutions. But this will be the first time in the state's 171-year history that they will actually vote on one. It's very unlikely to win. Then again, that's what people said about Donald Trump.

Seem to remember they voted on that in 1861.
Yeah, it passed.
This isn't the state of Texas voting on the question, but just the GOP within Texas. Still, it's a very hostile plank in the platform of a major political party. Even though it won't pass, it's an escalation and a warning.
Hey, that would get me off the hook for voting in November if they got a move on.
Texas already has the governing body all set up, according to Waylon. "once you cross that old Red River, Bob Wills is still the king".
