Except there is no "Texas-American Annexation Treaty of 1848." There is an Annexation Treaty of 1844, which wasn't approved by the Senate and, in any case, has no such language allowing Texas to secede.

Texas was annexed to the US by the Joint Resolution of Congress of 1845, which makes no mention of secession. This is a long-told farce popularized by the nuts in the Republic of Texas movement.
