Time and Date: Texas Independence Day commemorates the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. This event marked Texas’ independence from Mexico. Sixty delegates from all over Texas signed the declaration. Its language in many ways parallels the 1776 Declaration of Independence of the United States, which is observed on Independence Day, also known as “the fourth of July”.
The Republic of Texas was annexed to the US by joint resolution of the US Congress nine years after the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed. The US Congress then admitted Texas as a constituent state of the Union on December 29, 1845. Texas Independence Day is an official holiday in Texas. Sam Houston Day is also observed on March 2, marking the birthday of the man who led the Texans to victory over Mexican troops at the battle of San Jacinto.

March 3rd, 1845
Florida joins the Union.
The 27th State, Texas was the 28th to join December 29th 1845.
1845 was a damned great year and President 45 was the best president as well.
Word is Governor Abbott is ENDING the state mask mandate to mark Independence Day.
As Kamala would say at age 4…”Fweedom!”
We have been screaming at Abbott for months to end the mask mandate. His most recent timeframe was “soon”. Ugh.
Sadly, most Texans today couldn’t tell you when Texas Independence Day is. More (but not too many more) know about San Jacinto Day (April 21).
Mexican immigrants and transplanted California Liberals don’t care about either of those holidays, and I suspect they will soon be totally forgotten.
I am immensely proud of my home state, even if things don’t always go my way here. Texas born and Texas bred, and when I die, I’ll be Texas dead.
Happy Independence Day to my Texas Neighbors! Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Hey Brad, how come it’s his right eye and not his left eye? Whatever, a black eye is a black eye. How long before Cuomo shows up with a black eye. The black eye club, once again, more questions than answers.

I just remembered, Mitch the Bitch just had a black eye, and some busted up hands. You can’t make this shit up.
Benito, I read where they were going to quit illuminating the giant Sam Houston statue off of I-45.
I hope that was bullshit!
LBS, NOTHING SURPRISES ME ANYMORE!!
I love to remind Mrs Smith, who hails from Old Meheeco, every year on March 2nd that today is the day Texans told Santa Anna to kiss our Texan ass.
Far too many brave men died at the Alamo to ever put beans in chili
Amen, Groucho!
All Mexico asked of it’s prospective citizens was Catholicism and no slavery.
Happy….reintroduction of slavery into Texas. I guess.
Happy Independence Day Texas! Governor Abbott will be in the city near me and word around the campfire is his big announcement today will be end to the mask mandate! Then we will really be free again!
As a true Texan, I’m proud that today is also my birthday.
