Answer:

Mexico began to adopt a political and governmental attitude similar to that adopted in the USA, leaving Texas with little independence.

Step-by-step explanation:

The government of Mexico allowed states to have full control over their territories. Unlike the USA, the Mexican states had no submission to the central Mexican government, which gave them a lot of freedom and independence. However, in order to gain access to state land and control it in a way that offers it to Americans, the central government of Mexico began to adopt US federalist concepts, allowing the central government to be an authority over state governments. This caused the Mexican states to lose their autonomy. Texas felt badly hurt by this and initiated its plan for Mexico's separation and independence.
