    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Daniel Miller and members of the Texas National Movement delivered 139,456 signatures to the Republican Party headquarters in Austin.

    This refers to the most recent Republican gubernatorial primary in 2022 when 1,954,172 votes were cast, electing incumbent State Governor Greg Abbott.

    The State Republican Executive Committee was due to decide ballot propositions for March 2024 earlier this month.

    Texas has previous when it comes to the idea of secession and it is often mentioned whenever Republican voters become upset over what they see as too much interference from the federal government, usually when there is a Democrat in the Oval Office.

    Former Governor Rick Perry joked in 2009 when Barack Obama was president that Texas might consider secession, but also said “we’ve got a great union.”

    The Texas Independence Referendum Act, often referred to as “TEXIT,” was introduced by then-state representative Bryan Slaton in March this year, but did not get out of its committee stage.
