Many Americans moved to Texas in the 1820s due to the promise of cheap land and economic opportunities, as well as the allure of the region's fertile land for agriculture. The Mexican government encouraged this migration to help develop the area and boost its economy, offering land grants to settlers. Additionally, many settlers sought to escape economic hardships and the conflicts in the eastern United States, viewing Texas as a fresh start. However, this influx eventually led to tensions between American settlers and the Mexican government over cultural and political differences.
In the 1820s, most residents of Texas were Mexican nationals. I presume they supported the government of Mexico (although there were Mexicans who fought with the Americans at Alamo). I suspect that most of the Americans living in Texas in the 1820s supported slavery and independence (slavery was illegal in Mexico).
