When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, Mexican Texas was part of the new nation. To encourage settlement, Mexican authorities allowed organized immigration from the United States, and by 1834, over 30,000 Anglos lived in Texas, compared to 7,800 Mexicans.

In March 1836, a second political convention declared independence and appointed leadership for the new Republic of Texas. Determined to avenge Mexico’s honor, Santa Anna vowed to personally retake Texas. The Mexican troops were quickly routed, and vengeful Texians executed many who tried to surrender.

The Texans also adopted a constitution that protected the free practice of slavery, which had been prohibited by Mexican law. In 1821, Mexico gained independence from Spain, and Austin negotiated a contract with the new Mexican government that allowed him to lead some 300 families to the Brazos River.

Texas has a strong-oriented economy, and is expected to see fast job growth. Housing in Texas is also affordable, and the weather is great: the state sees 232 clear days per year.
