Mier Y Terán Report Mexican government sent officials to investigate Anglo American influence in Texas and suspicions that the United States wanted to claim Texas lands. 1829-General Mier y Terán recommended that Mexico take action to control Anglo Texans “or Mexico would soon lose control

Law of April 6, 1830 The result of the Mier y Terán Report: Stopped all immigration from U.S. Cancelled Anglo American land grants not already fulfilled Forbid colonists from bringing slaves to Texas Placed customs duty taxes on imported goods from U.S. Built more Mexican forts to guard the borders

Turtle Bayou Resolution of June 13, 1832 Colonists pledged their support and loyalty to Mexico and its new president, President Santa Anna Colonists thought Santa Anna was on “their side” because he said he was in favor of the States’ Rights Constitution of 1824 They were wrong!
