Well I don't know about Texas specifically but the Cajuns in Louisiana and the southern USA migrated from Eastern Canada. In Canada they were (and still are) known as Acadiens, and their flag is the French flag with a yellow star in the upper left hand corner. The Acadiens are people who came from France in the 17th century, I believe.
the French Texans migrated to Texas after moving south to Louisiana and looking for land they found it in Texas!

Robert de La Salle is the French nobleman who financed his own expedition along the Mississippi River Valley. He also claimed all of the land that he came across for France.
Because in 1841, the Republic of Texas opened up for colonization and in 1842 Henri Castro came to Texas and found Castroville, west of San Antonio, and 3 years later, 2,000 people had come. If that doesn't answer your question - it's cheap land.
French claimed all the lands from the Mississippi River. Sailor Rene-Robert Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle was the first French explorer to find the land of Louisiana. When he arrived, he found that they were not the FIRST people to live or explore this area of land. These previous inhabitants were the American Indians, therefore nearly creating a war over the land.
Sieur la Salle's full name was Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. He was a French explorer and is most remembered for his expedition down the Mississippi River, where he claimed land for France.
