The Comanches drove them out of the plains and into the desert. They also drove the Mexicans to letting Americans settle in Texas.

Empire of the Summer Moon is a pretty good book on the Comanche. Pretty much held up settlement by the Spanish/Mexicans until Colt introduced his revolver to the Texas Rangers.
