To Texas since it had held Independence under the Treaty of Velasco for almost a decade as a proclaimed Inde[endent Republic prior to applying for statehood. California could ponly be claimed as a part of its occupation during time of war. The failure of Mexico to ratify the Treaty of Velasco was not a US problem, nor was the failure of Texas to comply fully with the terms of that Treaty. The US could at least claim to have been dealing in good faith with the Republic of Texas.
