Tejas! Tejas!

Come to Tejas Mexicans
Come to Tejas! People in Mexico come to Deleon's colony for the following reasons.
Cheap Land!
We have plenty of cheap land that is filled with cattle. Tejas land is cheaper than in Mexico. Land can be purchased for only 12.5 cents per acre! The reason why we have a lot of cattle is because of hay, food and water. Family ranchers and farmers take care of their cattle year round. In turn, the cattle can be sold or kept to provide meat or clothing.
Protection
We defend our territory and give our population freedom. We don’t allow any criminals, drinkers or smokers. Gambling is not allowed. If anybody tries to come to our territory we will ask to leave and if they don’t we will place them in jail. We also have a better government than Mexico because we have a democracy as opposed to a dictatorship. Citizens have freedom but Mexicans don’t have as much power as the people do here in Tejas.
Resources
We have more resources than Mexico. Our largest crop is cotton. We have 15 major rivers and over 3700 streams throughout Tejas. Additionally, we have a large body of water to the south called the Gulf of Mexico. We use the Gulf of Mexico for transportation and major international trading. Goods traded include fur, cattle, and gold.
Conclusion
As you can see, Tejas offers you and your family a better life because of cheaper land, food, education, safety and more resources.
