Detailed explanation-1: -How were settlements in East Texas affected when France declared war on Spain in 1718? The settling of East Texas stopped temporarily. Spain built missions, presidios, and towns to protect its claim to North American colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Spanish, having long been wary of French plans for the Mississippi region, responded immediately to rumors of a French presence on the Tejas coast. Between 1686 and 1691 they dispatched a total of nine expeditions from New Spain (Mexico) to Tejas, four by sea and five by land, to search for the French.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish Colonial era in Texas began with a system of missions and presidios, designed to spread Christianity and to establish control over the region.
Detailed explanation-4: -The French who came to Texas in search of better social, political, and economic conditions contributed to the state in extending the frontier and in encouraging cultural development. The census of 1850 showed 647 French-born men in Texas; that of 1860 listed 1, 883.
