The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Following the unsuccessful settlement of the French explorers led by Robert Cavelier de La Salle around the middle of the 1680s. By 1711, a Spanish missionary, Francisco Hidalgo, seeks the help of the French governor of Louisiana to settle in East Texas.

However, considering the trading opportunities that could emerge, the French governor of Louisiana, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, asked Louis Antoine Juchereau de St. Denis, an experienced explorer, to Texas for arranging and prepping trade with the Spanish.
