It was the other way around: at first, Mexico was owner of both Texas and California. Texas was lost on 1835, and then California, as well as some other territories, on 1848.
Some of it, but not all. Present-day California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas used to belong to Mexico, until the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Mexico "owned" Texas for about 15 years (1821-1836) and California for about 27 years (1821-1848). Before 1821 there was no Mexico, it was part of the Spanish colony of New Spain.
MEXICO! Mexico owned Texas in the early 1800's. Texas became one nation for nine years... 1836 to 1845. In 1845 Texas joined the United States of America.

For more than 10 years after Mexico became independent, pioneers from the Hispanic south and the Anglo north came into Texas. people who came to Texas had to become Mexican citizens, Texans finally won independence in 1836, April 21st.
The song seems to be about two Mexican soldiers who are reflecting back on their participation in the Mexican War (1846-48), defending Mexico's claim to the disputed area of Texas situated between the Rio Grande and Nueces River. The initial clash here with American forces under the leadership of General Zachary Taylor brought on the Mexican War in 1846. Two years later a defeated Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo accepting Texas Annexation and surrendering New Mexico and California to the United States.
Yes, but all of them were hunted down. Today's jaguars live on the forests and jungles of western Mexico, Central and south America.
