· For Texas to become a state first the U.S. congress had to pass a resolution then it could become a state, but Texas had to agree to gives it forts to the U.S. Government. Then Texas leaders had to meet on July 4, 1845 and vote on the resolution. Then in October Texas voters accepted the resolution. More than 400 were in favor of the resolution.
