Spanish Texas refers to the period when the region was part of the Spanish Empire, primarily characterized by Spanish colonial rule from the early 18th century until 1821. During this time, Spanish settlers established missions and presidios to secure the territory. In contrast, Mexican Texas denotes the era following Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, when Texas became part of the newly formed Mexican Republic. This period saw increased American Immigration, tensions over land and governance, eventually leading to the Texas Revolution in 1836.
