RE: "One of the provisions by which Texas became a state is that it could divide up into as many as 5 separate states. If they would do that, then it is extremely unlikely that Congress would accept it"

A Democratic Congress might be open to divide-and-conquer. (Just kidding)

This, however, is a losing proposition for the moment. There will be a time when the US will break up and spin off states into countries.

At one time, I would have laughed at that possibility but not now. About the only thing we really have in common is that most of us speak English and we've all been to McDonalds. The regional differences are much greater than I once thought.
