East Texas was significant in establishing missions due to its fertile land and abundant resources, making it an attractive area for Spanish colonization. The region served as a strategic point for the Spanish to assert their presence against French encroachment and to spread Christianity among Indigenous populations. Missions in East Texas, such as Mission San Francisco de los Tejas, aimed to convert and assimilate Native Americans while promoting agriculture and Spanish culture. Additionally, the establishment of these missions laid the groundwork for future settlements and the expansion of Spanish influence in Texas.

Robert de La Salle's east Texas settlement in Spanish Tejas.
The French explorer La Salle significantly influenced Spain's view on settling East Texas. His expedition in the late 17th century, which aimed to establish a French presence in the region, prompted Spain to reconsider its own territorial claims and expansion in Texas. As a result, Spain increased its interest in colonization efforts in East Texas to counter French influence and secure its borders. This led to the establishment of missions and presidios in the area.
