It's too bad the rumor isn't true.  I would've gladly helped them pack!

Friends Texian and otherwise,

According to my colleagues at the Texas State Library, there never was
any provision to allow secession:

While I'm sad to quash such a fun rumor, we are all about documenting
the actions of government, and preserving that documentation that the
truth may win out.

In case you're curious, I am 3rd generation Texan, and have heard this
rumor much of my life.

Cheers,
Laura Hensey
