The Spanish soldiers and explorers who first reached the Americas were known as "conquistadors." This term, derived from the Spanish word for "conquerors," refers to those who led military expeditions to claim territories for Spain, often encountering and subjugating indigenous populations. Notable conquistadors include Hernán Cortés, who conquered the Aztec Empire, and Francisco Pizarro, who conquered the Inca Empire.

Phillip Nolan was suspected of plotting to claim land in Texas as part of a broader scheme to establish an independent territory or republic in the region. He was known to have made several expeditions into Spanish Texas, which raised suspicions among Spanish authorities that he aimed to promote American settlement and possibly facilitate a rebellion against Spanish rule. His actions ultimately led to his arrest and execution, as the Spanish government sought to maintain control over its territories.

The Texas claim is based on being a break way Republic from Mexico whose claim is based on Spanish exploration and settlement. Since Texas had no exploration of the area in question the Texas claim to lands along the north and eastern banks of the Rio Grande lack merit and standing.

The French briefly ruled over parts of Texas during the 17th century, specifically from 1685 to 1690, when René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle established a colony at Fort Saint Louis. This settlement aimed to claim the territory for France but faced challenges, including conflicts with Indigenous tribes and supply issues. The French presence in Texas was short-lived, as the colony ultimately failed and was abandoned. After this period, Spanish influence in Texas solidified and persisted for many years.
