Texas did not gain or lose territory as a direct result of the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819. The treaty primarily involved the United States and Spain settling disputes over borders in North America, particularly regarding Florida and the boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase. However, it indirectly affected Texas by establishing the borders of Spanish territories, which included Texas at the time. Ultimately, the treaty helped clarify the region's boundaries but did not alter Texas's territorial status.

Pinckney's Treaty, also known as the Treaty of San Lorenzo, resolved a territorial dispute between Spain and the United States. The negotiations for the treaty were concluded on October 27, 1795 between U.S. diplomat Thomas Pinckney and Spanish prime minister Manuel de Godoy. The treaty expanded the southern border of the United States to the 31st parallel and maintained its western border as the Mississippi River. It also granted Americans the right to navigate the Mississippi River, even through Spanish territory, as well as the right to conduct business at the port of New Orleans, which was controlled by the Spanish at the time. According to the US Department of State's Office of the Historian, the treaty was resolved due to the fact that "Spain's political and military position had weakened under its defeats and war expenses, while population growth in Kentucky and Tennessee, combined with a shortage of European ships to sustain trade with Louisiana, made Spanish officials amenable to a change in restrictive Spanish trade policies."

From 1762 to 1800, the Spanish had assumed control of French lands of Louisiana, including the Mississippi River and New Orleans, which the US needed for trade. And there were disputed regions of West Florida, which Spain had regained from Britain. Pinckney's Treaty (1795) defined the boundaries between US and Spanish territories, which included ceding to the US some areas north of Spanish Florida (coastal Gulf of Mexico). As it was not part of the Louisiana Purchase (1803), the US did not annex West Florida until later (1810-1813) and it was eventually divided between the states of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.

The Adams-Onis Treaty, also called the Transcontinental Treaty of 1819, attempted to settle the boundary between the Spanish lands belonging to Mexico and the American territory. Spain, in Europe, was having many difficulties and knew that it needed to negotiate a treaty with the United States or lose Florida and some of its other holdings. Spanish foreign minister Onis signed a treaty with Secretary of State John Quincy Adams drawing a boarder between the Spanish owned lands and the newly acquired Louisiana Territory by the United States. This treaty allowed Spain to maintain its holding of Texas, California, and most of what is now New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and parts of Wyoming and Colorado. In return for ratification Spain gave up all claims to the Oregon territory (which included northern California). This treaty wasn't ratified by the United States until 1831.
