The Books
One question runs through all of it: who holds the right to govern? The case for Texas nationalism, the practical path out, the untold history of the movement, and the constitutional right to leave. Plus the research underneath. Read any of them, and check the argument for yourself.
The practical case
Why and How Texas Will Leave the Union
Defiance Press · 2018 · Foreword by John Griffing · Bestseller
The first single work to answer the practical objections to Texas independence and mean it. Currency. The federal debt. The military. Trade. Borders. Social Security. The book takes each hard question in turn, states the objection fairly, and answers it with a working precedent from the world's nation-states. Every claim is sourced, so you can check it yourself.
“Daniel Miller has authored the most comprehensive, factual, and legally sound argument for state sovereignty of our generation.”
David Thomas Roberts, CEO, Author, Publisher
“A mandatory read for anyone who wants to understand the future of Texas and the inevitable unraveling of the centralized federal state.”
George Konstantinidis, UK Independence Party Regional Chairman, 2014-2017
The case for Texas nationalism
The Case for Texas Nationalism
2011, revised 2018
The book that drew the line. Before the polling and the party planks, Line in the Sand made the first full case that Texas is a nation and not a province: a distinct people, with its own history and character, and the standing to govern itself. It is where the modern argument for Texas self-government begins.
The untold history
The Untold History of the Texas Independence Movement
Forthcoming
For thirty years the story of the Texas independence movement was written by people who were never in the room. Crossing the Line is the first full account from the man who leads it: how the movement that came before was destroyed, how a two-year study rebuilt it, how it captured the Republican Party of Texas, and how it came within reach of a binding referendum. Not the version filtered through a 1997 standoff. The record, from the inside.
The legal case
Texas v. White, the Myth of Perpetuity, and the Constitutional Right to Leave
Forthcoming 2026
The whole legal case for a permanent Union rests on one 1869 decision. The Tethered Sovereign takes it apart. The line everyone cites is dictum, not holding. It was built on the Preamble, which the Court later held grants no power. Its author ruled the opposite way on state sovereignty four months earlier. The right to withdraw was never surrendered, never prohibited, never eliminated. The remedy is a lawful referendum, not rebellion.
