Texan settlers of Spanish descent, often referred to as Tejanos, were individuals of Hispanic heritage who settled in Texas during the Spanish colonial period and later under Mexican rule. They played a significant role in the early history of Texas, contributing to its culture, economy, and society. Many Tejanos were landowners and farmers, and they participated in key historical events, including the Texas Revolution. Their cultural legacy continues to influence Texas today, particularly in music, food, and traditions.
