We sort of fought a war to take it from them. The Mexican/American War. The Islamic State tried with Israel, and had their butts handed to them.

@PrivateHell the Mexican War had nothing to do with Texas joining the Union. It was an independent nation and joined voluntarily.

@tindrummer but it did liberate it from Mexico, therefore Texas is no longer "theirs"
@PrivateHell Good point! and Texas could break into 5 stares if they wanted but it has been some time since that was discussed as I hear it. (Here in PA)

@PrivateHell no it didn't - Texas won it's independence entirely on its own
