Stephen Austin
After Texas independence in 1836, Mexico had the same attitude as present-day China has over the republic of Taiwan: it was considered a rebel province to be re-acquired by peaceful means if possible, but by force if necessary.
Mexicans invited the American settlers into Texas. Texas-Mexico invited Americans to settle in Texas to stop Indian attacks. These settlers were required to be Catholic, become Mexican citizens, and follow Mexican laws.
The Alamo started by Mexico encouraged foreign settlement in Texas, but the Mexicans far out numbered the Texans. The Texans wanted to be independent, so the Texans started a Texas Revolution, and the Alamo was the very first battle to happen in the Texas Revolution.
The Austin Colony was a settlement established by Moses Austin and later developed by his son, Stephen F. Austin, in the early 1820s. It was located in Spanish Texas, which was a part of present-day Texas. The colony attracted primarily Anglo-American settlers and played a significant role in the colonization and development of Texas.

I don't know .
In the 1820s, most residents of Texas were Mexican nationals. I presume they supported the government of Mexico (although there were Mexicans who fought with the Americans at Alamo). I suspect that most of the Americans living in Texas in the 1820s supported slavery and independence (slavery was illegal in Mexico).
Moses Austin was known as the "Father of Texas" for his role in establishing the first Anglo-American settlement in the region and his efforts to bring American colonists to Texas.
Americans were attracted to Texas in the 1820s because Spain offered land at about 4 cents an acre, while land in the United States cost about $1.25 an acre at that time.
