Prior to statehood, Texas was governed by several sovereign rulers. Initially, it was part of Spanish territory, followed by Mexican rule after the War of Independence in 1821. Texas declared its independence from Mexico in 1836, becoming the Republic of Texas, which existed until it joined the United States in 1845. The Republic was led by notable figures such as Sam Houston and Mirabeau B. Lamar.
