Texit is the common name for any political movement within the United States State of Texas to regain the independence Texas initially enjoyed following the Battle of San Jacinto and the establishment of the Republic of Texas in 1836.
There have been numerous movements within Texas to reclaim its independence in one form or another, ranging from a group calling itself the "Republic of Texas" (after its predecessor, but which has no problem using violent tactics) to the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM, which seeks a political solution by a statewide referendum, similar to Brexit).
On 25 January 2021, Texas State Representative Kyle Biedermann (R-Fredericksburg, Comal County, Texas) introduced a bill – the Texas Independence Referendum Act – which would call for the statewide referendum the TNM advocates, to be held in November 2021. If the vote is in favor, then the bill provides that a committee, with members appointed by the Lieutenant Governor and the Speaker of the Texas State House, consider the "most efficient method" of achieving Texas independence.
