That constitutional provision existed before the annexation treaty and before West Virginia seceded from Virginia. IF the US tried to prevent TExas from dividing itself as provided in the treaty, that could be seen as a nullification of the treaty or as a failure of consideration, making the treaty a revocable one on Texas' part, it could be argued.
Besides, the provision in question says such acts can be done if with the consent of the states involved.
As for flying the TExas flag as high as the US flag, it is done all the time. I fly mine over the US flag at times. They are just pieces of cloth. It is not like they are pieces of the True Cross or St. Peter's Toenails or something sacred like that.
