Answer:

On October 25, 1693, Spain ended its first attempt to settle Texas. The missions had suffered many problems and had lost the support of the local people. Also, the French no longer appeared to be a threat in Texas. Deciding that the costs outweighed the benefits, Spain abandoned its Texas missions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Spanish learned of rumors that the French had opened a trading post at the mouth of the Trinity River. The French colony placed on the lower part of the river would be close to the much-coveted rich mines in Mexico.

Hope this helps! Have a great day my loves <3
