Texas looks to follow UK's example

You could argue the same with Quebec in Canada, but their cultural history is a continuation of France's culture.

And so is Louisiana's for that matter. It was Napoleon selling it off to the states. The Cajun culture is french - at least colonist french.

I don't know much on the American constitution, apart from the oftenly mentioned articles and ammendments, but it obviously doesn't offer the right for any state to leave the union. Which was most obvious in 1861, although it was the Confederates firing the first shots at Fort Sumter.
