Technically, yes. This has happened in the past resulting in a four year Civil War.

Yes, Texas is the only state that joined the union which can legally leave; however, it is extremely unlikely.

No and it is unconstitutional. Just to clarify, Texas cannot break away from the union, but can break into five states.
