	Definition of Republic of Texas (group)
		The Republic of Texas is a separatist group which claims that the annexation of Texas by the United States was illegal and that Texas remains an independent nation under occupation.
		The group has had several conflicts with the United States government, mainly over the group's assertion that because the United States' government of Texas is illegal, it has no right to collect taxes.
		As the group's "provisional government" has also issued "bonds" which some seemingly unsophisticated investors apparently thought were legitimate bonds issued by the state (rather than the "republic") of Texas, some of the organizers have been accused of securities fraud.
