PARKER COUNTY - For the last week, Texas has captured the attention of media outlets all over the country, drawing them to the White House’s website. Within the site, a petition calling for the peaceful grant of Texas to withdraw from the US and create its own government was formed by college student and part-time Weatherford resident Micah Hurd Nov 9. “I had known this website existed for most of the year,” Hurd, the University of Texas at Arlington student, said of his idea to create the topic. As of Friday afternoon, Hurd’s petition had 111,786 signatures from Texans, as well as citizens from other states, including Montana, Kentucky and Georgia.
