Welcome back to the Texas News Podcast, which is your hub for all things Texas politics and the future of Texas independence. To start off this episode we first go over some recent Texas news. With Attorney General Ken Paxton’s upcoming impeachment trial and school choice-focused special sessions on the horizon, the current sphere of Texas politics is one for the history books. These measures are dominating the Texas politics news cycle, but very little attention or credence is given to the huge political ripple effects that will occur after the fact, which is why we’re here to break it all down. 

Then, we deep dive into what TEXIT opponents think is the wooden stake in the heart of Texas independence: Texas vs. White. This 1868 Supreme Court case is wildly misinterpreted by TEXIT opponents. It’s safe to say that most people who quote Texas vs. White don’t even know what it actually says and take the interpretation of the case at face value. However, with our independence on the line, it has never been more important to look at this case through the lens of history and law, not conjecture.
