New Mexico has zero chance. Texas is one of two states who have the
right to leave the union at any time and as someone from the smallest
state in the union who may be made even smaller by Connecticut the
politicians here are threatening enough lawsuits to bog down a shift
for years. Basically, I'm not a lawyer by the way, there is
something in the law called 'tone and content'. What this means is
if something has become a given legal fact and new information crops
up that it might not be so, the prepondance of legality is on the
side of the people/group/entity that will suffer because of the new
information. Its the legalize of the old saying "possesion is 9/10's
of the law". If your going to go back to the 1800's just to get
three miles of border area just because nobody realized the mistake
in 150 years you've far exceeded your right to contest the original
fact.

Also as Lowell points out its been a legal fact that the border was
drawn up as the survey was surveyed and not as it should have been
surveyed.

The Rhode Island/Connecticut issue will be solved the same way.
The state of Connecticut is being dragged into this and realistically
wishes the town would just shut up. The town in CT wants the
property tax and thats about 15k or so a year.

There's a number of houses' on the Rhode Island/Massachusetts
border that it crosses' right down the middle. One guy even has to
register his car in Mass. (garage is on the Mass side), have an
address in RI (post office assigned the zip code to the house as in
RI), kids choose to go to school either state. Thats the way it
should be.
