>When Texas first joined the US in 1849, it was granted two provisions that no other state ever had. The first being the ability to leave and become its own country again and the second was the possibility of breaking up into 5 states (given the land mass that is Texas). Remember, if you flip Texas up over the Texas/Oklahoma border Brownsville would be 8 miles from the Canadian border and if you flipped it westward from El Paso, Houston would sit on LA.

Up until the Civil War, Texas was the only state that could legally leave the Union and be 'the United States of Texas' again. If memory serves, and I don't swear it does, Texas also had to give up the option of breaking into 5 separate states at the same time.
