Texas practiced slavery, and the US already had adequate problems maintaing a balance between the north and the south on that issue. Texas had made an effort to go it alone as a Republic, but it lacked recognition by most of the world and had created an enormous burden of debt. Texas needed a handout in a big way.

Did the republic of Texas maintain total government authority?

The Republic of Texas, established in 1836 after gaining independence from Mexico, had a government that exercised significant authority but faced challenges in fully maintaining it. The republic dealt with internal divisions, external threats, and financial difficulties, which undermined its governance. While it had a constitution and elected officials, the authority of the government was often contested by various factions and was ultimately limited by the necessity of seeking support from the United States. The Republic of Texas existed until its annexation by the U.S. in 1845, indicating that its government authority was not entirely secure or absolute.

How was the roman republic similar to and different from the representative republic of the US of America?

They are totally different and not comparable. The Roman Republic existed 2,400 to 1,800 years before the creation of the US. We are are talking about totally different eras and totally different societies and cultures. Also note that a Republic is a state not ruled by kings, emperors, princes, or dukes. The term Republic means just that. A Republic can be a democracy or a dictatorship.
