there was a petition on the White House page to let Texas secede that got more that 25,000 signatures. The White House had said it would respond to any petition that got more that 25,000 signatures within 30 days. I know this article is from Fox, but it does sum up the situation well:

That was a few years ago. There may be another push on now that I'm not aware of.
