Nobody "decided" to kick the King out. People protested and protested some more, but they didn't talk about leaving. When the Governors asked for troops people protested, but they didn't talk about leaving. When the legislatures argued with the Governors and the Governors disbanded the legislatures, the legislatures met in the pubs, but they didn't talk about leaving. The legislatures protested to the King and the King told them they'd take it and they'd like it, the protests got hot, but they still didn't talk about leaving. The King's soldiers opened fire on local militias (and the other way 'round) and they still didn't talk about leaving.
It wasn't until they'd been at war for almost a year that it finally sank in that there was no other choice at all that the states and finally the country as a whole finally said they'd had enough.
What would Texas really gain by this? What some people think is the right thing to do and what the people as a whole end up doing are not always the same thing. We'll see.
