Texas history is really short and easy to understand if you're mildly interested.
Short version, we did not fully kick out the Spanish. While I know people will disagree with me, I fully believe there's something to the "Five Civilized Tribes" thing, and personally think it has something to do with higher Solutrean admixture making it easier to assimilate. There's also this idea floated around that some Aztecs did flee into Texas, so some tejano women have that physique the Spaniards lusted after.
As I was saying in another post about this link that @zeke confirmed. This woman dancing? There's a significant chance she have the surname "Flores" or "Gonzales." As we discussed, it's a dying breed. They're being subsumed by the migrating Chicanos because they don't have their own ethnic movement, and have been for 50 years. I think that chance is gone for them, but you never know.
