However, just fifteen years later, Texas also became independent of Mexico. The state of Texas was known as The Republic of Texas and was its own independent nation until 1845 when it was annexed by the United States of America.

The city of Dallas was founded by John Neely Bryan and is currently surrounded by a variety of vibrant neighborhoods. The opportunities for educational and cultural growth are numerous. Dallas is home to several outstanding colleges and universities and has many arts centers and museums.
