This is incorrect Jerry.  Your statement implies that Texas was WON from
Mexico in the Mexican/American war by the United States, when it is better
argued that the annexation of Texas (1845) _caused_ the Mexican American
War, because.    Please read below from Texas State Library and Archives
Commission.  I was going to cut and paste, but I thought you might want the
URL.
