Yeah -- Texas is one of those 2300AD weird recursive history situations. Texas was formally annexed by Mexico in the 21st century but then it (and southern California) rebelled as a part of a renewed (the 3rd?) Mexican-American War. The war ends in a murky sort of way -- Texas is independent, there is a US-Mexico settlement, and then Mexico crushes the southern California rebellion.
The end result is a map of the southwestern USA that looks a lot like it did after Texan independence and before the actual Mexican American War in the 19th century.
