Actually the Constitution reserves all powers not specifically granted to the the federal government to the States and to the people.Actually it is forbidden, because the constitution has no mechanism to allow it.
To allow secession would mean to allow taxation without representation. As federal income tax is levied against all us citizens irregardless of the state or country they earn income in. Yet Texas would be ineligible as a foreign country to send any senators or representatives to congress..
People cannot be taxed by a foreign government which the current federal government would become with succession of their State.
