Oh, Lord. There was a guy taking secession on the Mars Society forum (don't ask) about how "Northern liberals" wouldn't pick up guns to defend the Union. I told him that any Southerner with an appreciation for history might well pick up a gun at the mention of secession...to shoot the guy who suggested it. I quote myself: "There is no Confederate cavalry coming to the rescue of the neocons. Just a whole lot of chickens coming home to roost."

I think there is zero, seriously zero real will to separate from the United States in most places, definitely not the widespread "rising up" he seems to believe. I don't know about Texas, though. They are like to do anything.
