The term "Texian" was used before Texas gained statehood to distinguish the residents from the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas. It was a way for the settlers to establish a separate identity during their fight for independence. After Texas became a state, the term "Texan" became more commonly used.
The people of Alta California were given the option or relocating south beyond the new Mexican border or accepting U.S. citizenship. About 90% took the citizenship option.I had also heard that by the time Texas decided to secede from Mexico (and from the state of Coahuila y Tejas), the ratio of illegal immigrants from the United States to Mexicans was about 6 to 1!
In 1836 when the Alamo was besieged and fell Mexico was a nation. Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was president. Texas was one part of the state of Coahuila y Texas established under the constitution of 1824. At that time both Coahuila and Texas seceded from the Republic of Mexico. The Bexar district of the state declared itself the Republic of Texas shortly after the fall of the Alamo while the rest of the state declared itself the Republic of the Rio Grande. In all likelihood there was no shch office as governor.
The capital of Mexican Texas (Coahuila y Tejas) was Saltillo.The Republic of Texas had several capitals, as it was relocated during the war with Mexico. The first was Washington-on-the-Brazos, where the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed at the Convention of 1836. Harrisburg (the provisional capital) was again the capital until it was burned by the Mexican army. The interim president of the Republic established a capital at Velasco, but the first legislature was convened in 1836 in Columbia. The final location was Austin (renamed from Waterloo in honor of Stephen F. Austin), which became the capital of the state of Texas in 1846.
