Answer:
According to the General Colonization Law, in order to settle in Mexico's Texas, foreigners had to comply Mexican laws and submitted to the Catholic religión.
Explanation:
The General Colonization Law, made an invitation for foreigners to be part of the territory of the state of Mexican Texas as long as:
1- They will comply with the provisions of the federal and state constitution and,
2- They submitted to the Catholic religion.
Similarly, the rules and methods to be followed for their establishment in the new territory were proclaimed. For example, where the number of settlers reached 40, a town would be established, and in those places where 200 inhabitants were reached, there would be a town hall. The costs established for obtaining land were minimal, there were easy payment facilities and also tax exemptions for several years.
Once this law was enacted, the Mexican government ordered it to be known abroad to penetrate a greater number of foreigners who might be interested in being part of Mexico. Most of the contracts were liquidated once Texas ceased to be a Mexican province.
