Detailed explanation-1: -Many place names such as San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and El Paso, are of Spanish origin. The culture still thrives in Texas via food, entertainment, language, and celebrations such as Cinco de Mayo.
Detailed explanation-2: -One base for Spanish missionary and military operations in Texas developed around San Antonio. Two missions and a presidio were established in the San Antonio River valley between 1718 and 1720, and the Spanish added three new missions in the valley in 1731.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish established themselves in Texas by using the same system they had established in Arizona and New Mexico. Through missions, presidios, and an adjoining civilian community (a villa), missionaries and soldiers Christianized and Hispanicized the native population.
Detailed explanation-4: -Spaniards also introduced sun-dried adobe bricks to West Texas, material that revolutionized the architecture of the region. The customary flat-roofed adobe building originated in Spain and was spread throughout northern Mexico and the American Southwest by early soldiers, clerics, and colonists.
