In brief:

1. There was a split in the Republic of Texas original Provisional Government in late 1996 over the style of banking system. No group had a required quorum of 9 to constitutionally do any business and the only way out of that is to call a general election.

2. The Late Mr. Johnson's 'faction' was basically him as the self-styled president of his imaginary theocracy.

3. The Enloe faction of 5 or 6 (no quorum) held an illegal impeachment 'trial' in a Grand Jury forum - no less.

4. In President Archie Lowe's 'faction', he deposed himself when took 3 members with an appointed Secretary of State becoming a voting council member (again no quorum) and for his refusal to call a constitutionally mandated general election in a timely manner.

5. Vice President Crear (as President Pro Tem), constitutionally issued a Writ of Election on 5 March 1997 for 19 April 1997 with every known Texas Republic advocate notified. FIND:

6. On April 19, 1997 the postal (absentee) and walk-in ballots were counted. Over 20,000 votes Texas-wide were cast to elect, certify and seat the 10th Congress Government of the Republic of Texas.

7. A Mr. Daniel Miller ran for Secretary of Plans and Powers in that election - and his late father co-signed his application. Mr. Miller lost and then jumped ship into the Lowe camp to become Secretary of State - then unified with the flopped Enloe group in 2002 to proclaim himself president from a one county caucus at best - and, at under 30 years of age.

However, the Constitution of Texas clearly states that "the President and Vice-President shall each have attained the age of 35 years". So they dumped the Constitution and wrote a new set of Plans and Powers - to exploit the gullible ever since.

8. When the 'STATE' of Texas realized what was really going on, the usual confrontation was arranged by Sheriff Bailey, then the Siege at Fort Davis followed. The 10th Congress was the only group that had armored personnel carriers in their front yard, Black Hawk helicopters overhead plus just a couple of hundred Texas DPS officers and Texas Rangers on site - which should tell us something about how seriously they were taken by governor general Bush and Co.

9. Then, the duly elected Ambassador and Consul General - R. L. McLaren of the 10th Congress negotiated an International Agreement and Terms of Cease Fire between the Republic of Texas with the USA and de facto 'STATE' of Texas (Signed by Texas Rangers Captain Barry Caver as authorized by US president Wm. J. Clinton and the then Texas governor G.W. Bush) that ended the Siege recognizing the Republic of Texas and Her 10th Congress government.

10. This Substantive Treaty was subsequently court certified and sworn as true by all parties thereto - which confirmed the international recognition of the 10th Congress government of the Republic of Texas.

11. Over 140 nations plus every International Convention, Court and germane Institution have been duly notified by hand delivery or registered post of the reclamation of the Republic of Texas - a sovereign nation amongst nations.

12. The General Election process to seat the 10th Congress FULL government began in September 2004, with ongoing Spcial Elections in each of the Districts until quorums are achieved in the House and Senate (who appoints the Judiciary) for Texas' Congress to convene for the first time since 1844.
