The Spanish granted large tracts of land in Texas to people, known as empresarios, to attract settlers and promote development in the region. This was part of the Spanish government's efforts to increase population and strengthen their control over the territory. Land grants were also a way to encourage people to establish ranches, farms, and communities in the area.
