Of course, Texas had to agree to the terms. But there was a rub: Mexico was ready to deal. Mexico promised to recognize the Republic of Texas, but only if it remained an independent state. Which offer should Texas acceptâ annexation or independence? In July of 1845, Texas lawmakers voted to adopt the US joint resolution and to reject Mexico's offer of recognition. They also drafted a new state constitution that, like its predecessor, explicitly permitted slavery. In October of that same year, Texas voters ratified the constitution by an overwhelming majority. In December, US president James K. Polk signed the Texas Admission Act into law. Texans elected a governorâJ. Pinckney Henderson, who had been instrumental in the drive for annexationâand other state officials. On February 19, 1846, a ceremony in Austin marked the formal transfer of authority. "The final act in this great drama is now performed," said Anson Jones, who had been elected president of the Texas Republic in 1844. "The Republic of Texas is no more." Now, it was the twenty-eighth state in the Union.
