Good morning Texans and Patriots. Coffee Toast.

189 years ago today on March 2nd, 1836.
On this day in 1836, Texas declares independence from Mexico.                             

In 1836, Texas became a republic. On March 1 delegates from the seventeen  Mexican municipalities of Texas and the settlement of Pecan Point met  at Washington-on-the-Brazos to consider independence from Mexico. George C. Childress presented a resolution calling for independence, and the  chairman of the convention appointed Childress to head a committee of  five to draft a declaration of independence. In the early morning hours  of March 2, the convention voted unanimously to accept the resolution.  After fifty-nine members signed the document, Texas became the Republic  of Texas. The change remained to be demonstrated to Mexico.

God Blessed Texas. 
Happy Independence Day.
