Spain continued to govern Texas during the years from 1800-1820. By 1803, the Spanish
government was very concerned with border issues between Spanish Texas and Louisiana; Louisiana was now part
of the United States. The Neutral Ground Agreement of 1806 designated the Sabine River and Arroyo Hondo as
borders between Texas and Louisiana. The boundary issue was finally resolved with the Adam-Onis Treaty in
1819. The Spanish were troubled by the possibility of Anglo American intruders creating political discord
and participating in illicit trade in their land. The struggle for Mexican independence proved to be the
greatest of Spanish problems in maintaining control of Spanish Texas. The Spanish period ends when Mexico
was finally successful in its fight for independence.
