The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) is a political organization that advocates for the independence of Texas from the United States, founded in 2005[1] as a splinter organization from the Republic of Texas group.[2][3] The organization is non-violent in nature. It claims to be the single largest sovereignty advocacy group in Texas, purporting over 426,000 supporters.[4]
Ideology
[edit]The Ideology of the TNM is that of a Texas nationalist party, it's positions are outlined in a book made by it's president Texit: Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union
History
[edit]The Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM) was established in 2005 as a breakaway faction from the more radical Republic of Texas group.
In January 2013, TNM members gathered at the Texas State Capitol in Austin to advocate for a resolution, leading to a single mention of secession by a lawmaker on the first day of the legislative session.[5]
In May 2016, the Texas GOP narrowly rejected a proposal to bring a secession resolution to a vote at the Texas Republican Convention.[6]
In 2020, the Republican Party of Texas incorporated a significant plank into its platform, with 93% approval, which criticized federal overreach and affirmed Texas' right to self-governance. This plank denounced any federal legislation infringing on the Tenth Amendment and stated that Texas could secede if the political system were fundamentally altered by future Congresses or Presidents. [7]
In June 2022, it voted to include a further secessionist plank in its party platform, calling for the Texas Legislature to approve a referendum on whether Texas should secede from the Union on the 2023 statewide ballot.[8]
In 2024, it made a PAC called the Texas Nationalist Movement-Political Action Commitee.
