A state lawmaker filed a bill in the Texas legislature on Monday to allow the state’s residents to vote on whether or not the state should investigate seceding from the United States.

State Rep. Bryan Slaton, a Republican, filed HB 3596, commonly known as the “TEXIT Referendum Act” (pdf), in a bid to put the issue on the ballot at the next general election.
