Spain lost interest in Texas primarily in the early 19th century, particularly after the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821), which led to the loss of its control over much of its territory in North America. The increasing difficulties in governance, the rising influence of American settlers, and internal political instability contributed to Spain's waning interest. By the time Mexico gained independence in 1821, Spain had effectively ceded its claims to Texas, focusing its efforts on other regions.

Mexico showed a significant interest in Texas, particularly during the early 19th century when it was part of Spanish territory. After gaining independence from Spain in 1821, Mexico encouraged American settlers to move to Texas to help develop the region. This led to cultural and political tensions, ultimately resulting in the Texas Revolution and Texas declaring independence in 1836.

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.
Texas did not gain or lose territory as a direct result of the Adams-Onís Treaty of 1819. The treaty primarily involved the United States and Spain settling disputes over borders in North America, particularly regarding Florida and the boundaries of the Louisiana Purchase. However, it indirectly affected Texas by establishing the borders of Spanish territories, which included Texas at the time. Ultimately, the treaty helped clarify the region's boundaries but did not alter Texas's territorial status.
