This article from Time suggests Perry is mostly grandstanding, but contains an interesting tidbit:

"Most experts suggest the notion that Texas can legally secede is mistaken, but the state does have the right to split into five states, offering the prospect of 10 U.S. senators, math that would send cold shivers down any Democratic back."

I'd never heard of that, but if it's true, hard to believe that deLay et al didn't go for it ...
