Yes, I recently took a trip from Houston to Aguascalientes. I have to say that I'm totally impressed withthe experience. I've come back and can't stop ranting about my experience.
The staff was helpful and courteous, the bus was clean (only the WC could use a cleaning at every stop) My trip was 18 hours and we saw 6 movies. I usually pay almost $700 to fly to Aguascalientes on Continental. Turimex was $157 ROUNDTRIP!!!!
You just can't beat it!! Take snacks, and plenty of plastic bags to dumpo your trash throughout the trip. Also, we had a separate "potty" bag equipped with toilet paper, lysol spray, hand sanitizer and liquid soap because you never know about the restrooms in Mexico - oh and in some you need to have change to pay to use (usually 3 pesos or so)
Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
there was a problem because Texas used to be Mexico's and Texas was taken away and Mexico still wanted to keep a part of their country that was th conflict
Texas was an independent country from the end of the Texas War for Independence from Mexico until 1845 when it became a state. The country was known as the Republic of Texas. Before that, it was a territory of Spain, France and Mexico. In 1861, Texas joined the Confederate States of America. So Texas has flown six flags over its territory: those of Spain, France, Mexico, the Republic of Texas, the Confederate States of America, and the United States.
Texas wasn't purchased, it was a marriage of convenience. And there was this thing called the Mexican War that had an affect on who controlled what is now the state of Texas. The border of Texas and Mexico was in dispute. According to Mexico, the official border was farther north, where as Texas put the border at the Rio Grande.
Texas was originally part of Mexico. It was then taken back in the war between Mexico and the U.S. We weren't sure of what to do with it, so for a while it was its own little country.
If you mean the war, when the Spanish controlled Texas and California, had their land taken after a war; that war was the Texas Revolution or the Texas War. It started in The Mexican War between the United States and mexico. It started with a Mexican attack on American troops along the southern border of Texas. Fighting ended when U.S. Gen. Winfield Scott occupied Mexico City on Sept. 14, 1847; a few months later a peace treaty was signed at Guadalupe Hidalgo. In addition to recognizing the U.S. annexation of Texasdefeated Mexico ceded California and , New Mexico to the United States.
In 1820, Spain held the land that would become Texas. They encouraged Americans to settle in Texas because not enough Mexicans had taken the opportunity to settle there. When Mexico gained their independence, they continued the Immigration policy that the Spanish had put in place.
Yes. Mexico owned California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.However, Mexico lost all those territories at the Mexican-American War (1846-1848).

The whole states of California, Nevada, Utah and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico and Kansas.At the end of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) Mexico lost present-day California, Nevada, Utah, part of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona. Also at the end of the war Mexico was forced to cease any attempt on reclaiming Texas, which at the time included present-day Texas, as well as those parts of Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming described above. This is also known as the Mexican Cession (1848).
The annexation of Texas did not end disputes between Mexico and the United States. Mexico asserted that the border was the Neuces river, while the U.S. claimed the Rio Grande river formed the border.
He is important because he led the Long expedition. In the expedition, James Long led a group from Mississippi to Nacogdoches where he declared Texas independent from Spain. He was captured, taken to Mexico, and shot.
