Why did the Mexican Army set out for Texas?

Spain came to the area in the 1500's and colonized the southwest. This resulted in the Native Americans of the area and the Spanish mixing into one culture. In the 1700's Mexico took over the southwest. So, as you can see " Mexicans didn't come to Texas" they were all ready there. Texas came to them. It was southern American's who came to the area we call Texas because they were afraid that slavery would be outlawed in the states.
