In 1820, Spain held the land that would become Texas. They encouraged Americans to settle in Texas because not enough Mexicans had taken the opportunity to settle there. When Mexico gained their independence, they continued the Immigration policy that the Spanish had put in place.
When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Wyoming.
Due to the extremely low population for such territorial extension (estimated at only 12 million residents in 1824), Mexico relaxed its immigration policies and allowed American settlers to help populate the northern territories. The conditions to settle were simple: 1) to pledge allegiance to Mexico and 2) observe the Mexican Law and customs.
