Why is the Rubi report evidence that Spain was discouraged about to developing Texas?
The Marques de Rubi (full name: Cayetano María Pignatelli Rubí Corbera y Saint Climent, Barón de Llinas) traveled to the northern territories of the New Spain in 1767, mapping part of Texas and inspecting the presidios (fortresses built to protect against pirates, hostile native Americans, and colonists from enemy nations) along the frontier, traveling to San Saba, San Antonio de Bexar, Los Adaes, and La Bahia to finally leave Texas through Laredo in November of that year.
He recommended that Spain should reorganize its frontier along a series of fifteen presidios, that would stretch from the Gulf of California to the mouth of the Guadalupe River in Texas -- mimicking the present-day U.S.-Mexico border. Above this frontier, Rubi advised that only San Antonio and Santa Fe would be maintained, and he urged the complete abandonment of East Texas.
Rubi's recommendations were enacted in 1773 but were partially nullified by the return of settlers to the region and the founding of Nacogdoches (TX) in 1779. These recommendations proved to be fundamental to the rise of the United States as a world power, as Texas' lack of development forced the newly independent Mexico (1821) to open its borders to American settlers, who eventually revolted and created the Texas Republic in 1836. When Texas joined the U.S. in 1848, border conflicts quickly escalated to the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) which allowed the U.S. to acquire the whole states of California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, as well as parts of Wyoming, Colorado, Oklahoma and Kansas. Nowadays, without Texas and California, the United States would be a mediocre power at best.
The executive branch in Texas is run by the governor. The governor is Rick Perry. He is in charge of the government. He likes cheese and donuts.
The plural executive in Texas limits the power of the Governor by distributing power usually associated with a chief executive among many elected political leaders. The only executive official appointed by the Governor is the Secretary of State. Other officials are elected independently and do not campaign for office as a unified slate. They do not have to answer to the Governor, nor do they work together as a cabinet in the way that executive officials serve the U.S. President. Party leadership may encourage unity among candidates, but the campaign organizations operate independently of each other. Compare this to the national campaign organization of the presidential and vice-presidential candidates, which is one entity and one choice on the ballot. This arrangement produces an executive branch whose officials jealously guard their jurisdiction, their power, and their prerogatives. In short, everyone defends his or her turf, and the Governor lacks any formal power to dictate or referee. The Governor is often the nominal head of his or her party in the state, but this does not offset the institutional political base other executives possess. As a result, the executive branch lacks cohesion, with different executives and their agencies often pursuing different goals. Some of the attempts by the framers of the 1876 Constitution to hamstring the Governor, like the short two-year term, have been undone by constitutional amendment; other limitations have been undermined by historical change, like the development of mass media. These changes notwithstanding, the plural executive has proven a durable legacy of the 1876 authors, much to the frustration of many governors. from http://texaspolitics.laits.utexas.edu/1_9_0.HTML the governor of Texas actually has very little power over the branch hes charged with controlling. his power is mainly over the legislative branch. he does however use several tools of persuasion over the exec. branch.
