Any slaves in Texas came with settlers. They did not arrive by ship. Only 5% of the slaves were in Texas and Mexico outlawed slavery.
The first settlers to arrive at Plymouth were looking for a place where they could preserve their culture and worship freely.
The settlers of Georgia came from Spanish colonies near Florida. And the settlers of the Spanish colonies came from Spain... obiviously! :)
What are examples of the Spanish legacy in Texas
There is evidence of cattle in the territory that became Texas from the time of the Spanish conquest; the conquistadors brought them to the New World in the late 1500s. We also know that some of the later settlers purchased cattle from Mexico.

Some slaves came with their owners when they were settlers. Others came [were actually shipped] from the Colombian Exchange. Others that were legal settlers became slaves because of their race.
they were one of the first spanish Texas settlers which might have been in about the 1700's
Technically "Texas" came to the Indians. The native Americans where in the lands currently called "Texas" for approximately 12,000 years before the Spanish settlers arrived.
The Spanish name for Texas was "Tejas." This name is derived from the Caddo word "taysha," meaning "friends" or "allies." The term was used by Spanish explorers and settlers in the 18th century and eventually became associated with the territory that is now the state of Texas in the United States.

Texas Longhornd originated from the Criollo-type cattle of Spain. These cattle were shipped overseas with Christopher Columbus to the southern Americas to be (as was the plan) used as food (meat and milk, mainly) for the Spanish settlers.
Spanish explorers referred to Texas as "Tejas," derived from the Caddo word "taysha," meaning "friends" or "allies." This name was used to describe both the region and the indigenous tribes inhabiting it. Over time, "Tejas" evolved into the modern name "Texas" as Spanish settlers and later Anglos established their presence in the area. The term reflects the cultural and historical influences of Native American, Spanish, and later American settlers in the region.
