Stephen Austin and other Texans were unhappy with the new president, Santa Anna, primarily due to his centralist policies that undermined the autonomy previously granted to Texas. After initially supporting a more federalist approach, Santa Anna's shift towards centralized government led to the suspension of the 1824 Constitution, increasing tensions between Texan settlers and the Mexican government. This dissatisfaction culminated in fears of losing their rights and freedoms, ultimately contributing to the Texas Revolution.

Many felt that it was too far from the more populated and economically vibrant areas of the state, making it inconvenient for government officials and citizens alike. Additionally, the choice of Austin, which was relatively undeveloped at the time, was seen as a compromise that did not reflect the interests of all Texans.
