The things I don't see are:
The sudden massive burden of supporting the populations of eastern texas
The cost of the effort to rebuild the even enough infrastructure to supply the campaign
And these suddenly new American citizens - I'd like to see a counter-demand to bring their families from the chaos of Mexico.
Shepherding missions could be fun.
I notice that you don't include anything about the civil war in mexico - or are you not including it?
(IMHO, The Mex civil war would be a reason to have pulled the loyal troops uselessly in the US out to support the Federale gov't anyway)
