Texas independence vote is imminent, group's leader says

Daniel Miller and members of the Texas National Movement delivered 139,456 signatures to the Republican Party headquarters in Austin .

Miller said there were 170,097 signatures in total, but 30,426 were rejected because some forms had been incorrectly completed.

The minimum number of signatures needed for a referendum to be considered is five percent of the total vote received by all candidates for governor in the party's most recent gubernatorial general primary election.
