The Texas Navy was created in the early 1830s to protect the Republic of Texas against threats from Mexico, particularly following the Texas Revolution. It played a crucial role in securing Texas' independence by engaging Mexican naval forces. However, after Texas joined the United States in 1845, the Texas Navy was dissolved as it became redundant, with naval defense responsibilities assumed by the U.S. Navy. Additionally, the financial burden of maintaining the navy became unsustainable for the new state.
