Texas was paid $10 million to give up its claims to land west of the Rio Grande and to settle its debts when it joined the United States in 1845. This payment was part of the Compromise of 1850, which aimed to resolve border disputes and tensions between slave and free states. The agreement helped solidify Texas's position as a state while addressing the interests of the federal government.
