− | '''Texas''' is a state of the south-central [[Located In::Directory:United States of America|United States]]. It was admitted as the 28th state in [[Year Admitted:=1845]]. Explored by the Spanish in the 16th and 17th centuries, the region became a province of Mexico in the early 19th century. Texans won their independence in 1836 after a gallant but losing stand at the Alamo in February and a defeat of Santa Anna's forces at the Battle of San Jacinto (April 21). Denied admission as a state by antislavery forces in the U.S. Congress, the leaders of Texas formed an independent republic that lasted until 1845. Austin is the capital and Houston the largest city. | + | '''[[State Name:=Texas]]''' is a state of the south-central [[Nation Located In::Directory:United States of America|United States]].
