Many people, possibly even including recent Texas governors, think that Texas has a right to secede from the Union.

Does it, or does it not?

The U. S. Supreme Court ruled in 1869 that states may not unilaterally secede. The state litigant in the case was Texas. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_v._White
