Book explores impact of today’s
Texas leaving the United States

Debbie Bradley

There are few states more independent than Texas. Three times in its history it has seceded from three different countries, including a temporary secession from the United States.

Now only taken as a joke amongst its citizens, Daniel Jason, a Houstonian, has taken the speculation one step further in his new book “Texas Secedes”.

The book follows the story of Matthew Wolverine and his family and their journey towards secession.

“The Wolverine family sees the federal government is not defending the Texas border and that in ten years Texas will be a de facto part of Mexico,” Jason said. “The Wolverines pray to seek guidance from above and are led to urge Texas to take the drastic step of voting on secession if the federal government will not defend the Texas border.

Jason worked on the book two years, eventually publishing it through his company, 5 Star Stories Inc. and is working on the next book in what will be a six book series, called “Texas Freedom.”

While writing his book, Jason looked back on past Texas history as well as other instances in history, including the original American colonies and the revolution against Great Britain and the instances that Texas seceded from Spain, Mexico and the United States.

Using this research as well as current events, he formed the backbone of his story.

“For years Congress and the President have left our southern border unprotected,” Jason said. “They vote for a fence, then vote against funding the fence. They are not listening to the citizens. Great Britain stopped listening to the colonials and the colonies rebelled. Mexico stopped listening to Texas and Texas rebelled. The federal government is not fixing social security, goes deeper and deeper into debt each year, and is not protecting the southern border. This is history repeating itself.”
