Been awhile since I talked Texas history. IIRC. Moses had a deal with Spain to bring people to Texas. About the time he died, Mexico took over. Stephen F made that same deal with Mexico. The settlers were given really cheap land. All they had to do was survey it. They didn't even do that.
Mexico kept telling them no slaves, but the settlers had them anyway. Hence, the war for independence.
Remember the Alamo.
Then the Yellow Rose got Santa Anna busy so the Texans could overwhelm the Mexicans at San Jacinto.
Last I read there were 250,000 slaves in Texas on Juneteenth, 1865.
There was also an issue with some conditions placed upon the immigrants which they did not abide by in good faith.
One I remember was the Americans , if they were not already Catholics, had to convert. There was a defrocked priest, I think Irish, who was selling fake baptismal certificates. The American immigrants went on and built their Baptist (or whatever) churches. Then numbers of white Americans were sneaking in without even attempting the formality of required documents and fees, they just blended in with the rest.
The slave trade really sent the government over the edge, it was blatant human trafficking.

Yes, those with pure Spanish blood are white racially. However,most of the Hispanics south of our border and most that live here are Mestizos. They are mix of white Spanish blood and Amerindian. Some are mixed white and black whom are referred to as Mullatos.
"If the Democrats are able to flip Texas, then all is lost. The Democrats will be able to institute their dreams. Get ready for the confiscation of land, the nationalization of industries and the excessive taxation of real work."
Hurrah! Oh, let this happen soon.
