Answer 2

Mexico wanted to settle Texas itself, as it was worried about the French presence in the neighboring Louisiana - a settled Texas could work as a "border" between the two". In 1821, when Mexico became independent, it encouraged US-Americans to settle is, as their objective was increased settlement in the area (but not by French).
