Texas declared its independence from Mexico on March 2, 1836, at Washington-on-the-Brazos. The Texas Declaration of Independence was signed by notable Texas figures, including Sam Houston, Lorenzo de Zavala, and José Antonio Navarro. The United States did not recognize Texas's independence until 1837. | Robert D. Dunn
