Rockin&#39; Mel S
cubztertx is right, anytime prior to 1821 would not have been Mexican rule of Texas but Spanish.

If for some reason you consider Mexican and Spanish rule to be the same thing then the number of years is considerably more. The uninterrupted Spanish occupation of Texas lasted for 105 years, (1716-1821) . However, if you include missions and expeditions and such you might be able to argue and move that 1716 date back several decades. Even if you include the time that the territory was first sighted and claimed for Spain then you could expand that back further to 1519.


cubztertx
1821 to 1836, so fifteen years

Spain was anxious to defend the silver mines and Santa Fe trade from any ambitious French or British scheming. In 1716, Spain built a mission and presidio along the San Antonio River as a first step to making the vast territory north of Mexico into a buffer zone against other powers. San Antonio de Valero Mission, later known as the Alamo, became the nucleus of the village of San Antonio de Béxar, the most important town in Spanish Texas. A few years later, Spain founded its first colony in Texas, sending fifty-five settlers from the Canary Islands to set up homes near the new mission.

Over the years, Spain built other mission complexes at Nacogdoches, near the Texas coast, and along the Rio Grande. The Spanish population eventually grew to about 3500 people, mostly small farmers and ranchers. Small groups of peaceable Indians also settled among the Spanish and intermarried with them. Outside of these outposts, Texas was the realm of the Apache Indians and their rivals, the even more fearsome Comanche.
