To complement weaponry brought with them, correspondence sent back to Germany by Prince Solms-Braunfels in 1844 urgently called for more heavy artillery and rifles. "Arms were sent over labelled only as ?personal baggage?," said Prince Sachsen-Altenburg. "Hence it was not always documented at the US end."
What US end? Texas was an independant republic in 1844!

I would imagine that they'd probably bring it through US ports. I don't really know.

They still had to cross the ocean and wind up somewhere before they got to Texas.
