Texas leaders, particularly Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin, took actions that heightened Mexican fears about American settlers' intentions. The establishment of a separate Texas government and the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence in 1836 signaled a desire for autonomy from Mexico, which was interpreted as a threat to Mexican sovereignty. Additionally, the influx of American settlers, many of whom sought land for farming and settlement, reinforced the perception that these settlers aimed to annex Texas and expand U.S. territory at Mexico's expense.
