The Spanish colonized Texas for a number of reasons:
1. They wanted to expand their amount of land for trading and farming.
2. They wanted to convert the culture and religion of the Native Americans living there.
3. They wanted to get the land before the French or any other opposing threats could beat them to it. (Unfortunately for them, their efforts were for nothing.)
