When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Colorado and Wyoming.
So basically, New Mexico was part of Mexico, until the Mexican-America war

How many times has Mexico invaded Texas including this Aztlan war?
The so-called "Aztlan War" is a racist myth. As for the rest of your question, Mexico has never invaded Texas. Texas was part of Mexico, and Mexico tried to prevent Texas from declaring independence. The effort failed, but it is false to say that Mexico ever invaded Texas.

When was Mexico vs Texas War?
If you mean the Texas Republic, never.One of the causes of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) was the admission of Texas as a U.S. state. At the end of such conflict, Mexico lost and was forced to cease any claim on Texas as long as it was part of the United States. Therefore, if Texas ever secedes from the U.S., Mexico is nominally entitled to renew its claims to such lost territory.Last time this could have happened, was during the American Civil War (1861-1865) when Texas split from the U.S. (as part of the Confederate United States). Mexico was however, embroiled on its own conflict against France, during the Second Franco-Mexican War (1862-1867). Mexico wasn't interested in Texas at the time, but its own survival as an independent country.
Why people didn't like Antonio Lopez DE Santa Anna?
He is still considered one of the worst presidents Mexico has ever had. He is the responsible for losing Texas during the Texas Revolution (1835 - 1836) and almost half of the country during the Mexican-American War (1846 - 1848). The last straw was the Gadsden Purchase (1853), which included southern New Mexico and Arizona. This last action was so outrageous to the Mexican people, that Santa Anna was overthrown in 1855 and sent into exile for the following 19 years. He returned to Mexico during a general amnesty, but he was ignored by the Mexican government and people until his death in 1876.

What were the results of the war for Mexico?
Through the treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, The Republic of Mexico had to sell California, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico, and had to recognize that Texas was now a part of the United States. The attack on Veracruz by the United States was recognized as the first amphibious attack in history. Mexico City was destroyed, although the US paid reparations for it. Ever since then, Mexicans have had a negative image of Uncle Sam as a trigger-happy imperialist.
Who was the worst President of Mexico?
Most Mexican people agree Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna is the worst president Mexico has ever had, as he is responsible for losing Texas in 1836 and California, Nevada, Utah and the rest of Colorado as well as most of northern New Mexico and Arizona during the Mexican-American War in 1848. Finally, although he was pressured by a threatening James Gadsden, he sold southern New Mexico and Arizona to the United States in 1853. This last act was seen as a treason from part of the Mexican people, who promptly deposed him.
