After Texas became a state, many Tejanos reacted with mixed feelings towards the Anglo-American culture that began to dominate the region. Some Tejanos embraced and assimilated into the new culture, adopting Anglo-American customs and traditions while seeking opportunities for economic and social advancement. Others, however, resisted cultural assimilation and held onto their Hispanic heritage, language, and traditions as a way to preserve their identity in the face of increasing Anglo-American influence. Overall, Tejanos experienced a complex relationship with the Anglo-American culture after Texas became a state, navigating between acceptance and resistance in the changing social and political landscape.
