Mexicans refused to settle there
Beginning about 1821 after the Mexicans gained Independence from Spain.
Texas was denied for many years because the Mexicans feared that the United States would settle Texas.

How did the new Texas Constitution treat Mexicans living in Texas?
Mexico encouraged foreign settlement in Texas, but then Americans far outnumbered Mexicans in Texas. The Americans started to want to be independent, so they started the Texas Revolution. The Alamo was the first battle. Although all the Americans were killed, the Mexicans, in proportion, had many more losses. After that, the U.S. sent aid to the Texan army, which then routed the Mexicans at San Antonio and San Juanito (I think). Texas became a U.S. state 9 years later, in 1845.
