The most plausible inference from the fact that the eastern border of Texas was not part of the Compromise of 1850 is:
The eastern border had already been decided in a previous agreement.
This suggests that the eastern border issue may have been resolved prior to the Compromise of 1850 and did not need to be addressed again in that context.
