So Texas wants to texit. [View all]

Well don`t let the door hit in your ass. Just remember, that when the next disaster hits, you are on your own. Don`t ask for help from the rest of us and our government. Remember our government is no longer yours. You no longer have to follow our laws. Carry all the weapons you want. Frack the hell out of every piece of land you own. Remember everything you produce and export to the united states will have a tax on it just as if it was coming from another country. Oh, wait you are another country.
If Mexico tries to invade your country, make sure you replace every gun, bullet, airplane, tank and what every else will be removed by your former country when you decided to go rogue. And make sure you buy a few ships to protect you shore line. Baseball, football, basketball, well you will have to get used to playing each other as currently our pro teams as well as collage teams do not play foreign teams. Jerry Jones would not like that to much.
Everyone coming in and out of the country of Texas will need a passports so set up entry points to enter and leave your country. You might as well get your federal roads repaired before you check out because they will be quite expensive to repair on your own. Make sure you get your own banks set up and print some money for your country to use. I am sure there is more but if you come up with solutions this than you might have a chance to make as the country of Texas or whatever you want to call yourselves.
