Bill > HB1359

This bill proposes a referendum to the people of Texas on whether the state should leave the United States of America and establish an independent republic. If the referendum is approved by voters, the bill establishes a Texas Independence Committee to study and make recommendations on the most effective and expeditious method for Texas to become an independent republic. The committee is tasked with considering various constitutional, statutory, and transitional issues that would need to be addressed, and must provide a strategy for achieving Texas independence within 60 months of the referendum results being certified. The bill's provisions are non-binding, and the legislature is not required to act on the committee's recommendations.
