The compromise of 1850 did not affect the northern boundary of Texas. The compromise primarily focused on resolving issues surrounding the balance of power between free and slave states in the territories gained from Mexico during the Mexican-American War. It included provisions such as the admission of California as a free state, the creation of a stricter fugitive slave law, and the organization of the Utah and New Mexico territories under popular sovereignty. The northern boundary of Texas remained the same before and after the compromise.
