Some Tejanos supported Texas independence for a variety of reasons. Firstly, many Tejanos had been living in Texas for generations and felt a strong sense of pride in their Texan identity. They saw the struggle for independence as an opportunity to secure their rights and freedoms as Texan citizens. Additionally, some Tejanos believed that independence from Mexico would bring about economic and social opportunities that were not available under Mexican rule. Finally, Tejanos had experienced tensions and discrimination from both American settlers and the Mexican government, and they saw independence as a way to establish their own political power and protect their interests.
