 </span></blockquote>I would disagree with your conclusion that Texas didn&#39;t acquire any<br/>
advantages over other states, even though I agree it would be contentious.<br/>
It has the specific right and expectation for eventual division built into<br/>
its admission into the union, and no other state had that TMK. That&#39;s not to<br/>
say there wouldn&#39;t be an argument if and when it occurred. But Texas has<br/>
sort of a pre-approved status, like those credit card offers I get every day<br/>
in the mail: &quot;You are already approved for a $10,000 Visa!&quot;<br/>
<br/>
If Texas were to move on this privilege, the foundation for the arrangement<br/>
is already out of the way. Other states do not have this leg up.</div>
