Texas wanted to join the United States and the citizens also wanted Texas as a new state, but President Jackson refused because Texas was a slave state. Adding a slave state would upset the fragile balance of the free and slave states. Also, Mexico didn't fully consider Texas to be independent from them and if the United States took over Mexico, then that might cause war which Jackson did not want.
