The results of a war fought about that (and other obvious things) disagrees too.

Texas didn't have to sign the treaty that prevents the other states from seceding, but they still can't secede. They can break the state up if they want.

If Abbot were a smarter man, he'd have thought of this. How I'd do it is I would split Texas into several smaller States, appoint new sub-governors for each of these new States, and they'd appoint Representatives for the counties in their separate jurisdictions, and somehow get each of these new States to form their own Union separate from the US Union. Call it something like, the Federation of Texan States.
