After Texas wrote what they wanted from Mexico, Stephen F. Austin took the message to Santa Anna. It said:

Texas wanted Immigration from America again

Texas wanted separation from Cohuila

Texas wanted to bring in new slaves

ect. (sorry I forgot the rest)

Anyways, SFA was tired of waiting for Santa Anna's response (it had been a while) so he wrote a letter to the Texas settlers saying that Texas could be separated from Cohuila and to get all the things needed for separate statehood WITHOUT PERMISSION.

Finally, Santa Anna approved all BUT separation from Cohuila.

On the way home, SFA was arrested for treason.

Mexico had found his letter and knew they had not athorized separation from Cohuila and had SFA thrown in jail.

Hope this helps, I'm not good at explaining things!
