Sam Houston did not serve a second consecutive term as President of the Republic of Texas due to the Texas Constitution, which prohibited consecutive terms for the presidency. After serving from 1836 to 1838, he stepped aside for Mirabeau B. Lamar, who won the election in 1838. Houston returned to the presidency later, serving again from 1841 to 1844, but his initial term was limited by the constitutional restrictions in place at that time.

I suspect you mean 1836, not 1863, since the last President of Texas left office in February of 1846, after Texas became a state of the United States. David G. Burnet was elected Interim President in 1836 by the convention that assembled to issue Texas' Declaration of Independence from Mexico. Later that year Sam Houston was elected by popular vote to be the first President of Texas. He was also the third President of Texas (the Texas Constitution did not have term limits, but it did not allow anyone to serve consecutive, or back to back, terms).
