Unlike some secessionist movements which engage in, or actively suggest, violence (such as the reformed '''Republic of Texas'''), the TNM seeks to use the existing political process, by calling for a state-wide referendum on the issue.  The idea of a referendum is similar to the United Kingdom's vote which ultimately led to [[Brexit]], and in the spirit of such naming is labeled '''TEXIT'''.

In 2020 TNM announced that a member of the Texas House of Representatives has filed legislation based on TNM's proposal that would call for such a referendum (ironically it was on the same day that the [[Texas v. Pennsylvania]] lawsuit was filed)<ref>
