The first French settlement in Texas was established by René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, in 1685. During his expedition, one of his ships sailed back to France while the other was wrecked on a sandbar near the mouth of the Mississippi River. La Salle aimed to establish a French colony at the mouth of the Mississippi but ultimately founded Fort Saint Louis on the Texas coast. His efforts marked the beginning of French attempts to colonize the region, despite facing numerous challenges.

The French attempt to claim Texas was part of their broader efforts to colonize the region in the late 17th century, particularly through the establishment of Fort Saint Louis in 1685. This settlement was led by the explorer La Salle, who aimed to create a French presence in the area but ultimately faced numerous challenges, including conflicts with Native Americans and supply issues. The settlement was short-lived and eventually abandoned by 1688, marking a failed French claim to Texas.
