The first Christian language in Texas was Spanish. We did take the Republic from Mexico.

Golly gee.
I learn something new every day.
I wasn't aware that the Republic of Texas ever "belonged" to Mexico.
In fact, if history serves me, during that unsettled period, it wasn't clear who represented "Mexico."

Mexico had a claim on it via Spain. It was Spanish territory. We fought Mexico and took it. We didn't fight Spain. That's pretty clear representation.
