After Texas joined the United States, many Tejanos learned English, dressed in Anglo-style clothing, and ate Anglo-American foods more often. Although many took on these aspects of Anglo-American culture, they did not fully abandon their own cultural practices. They accommodated their own culture due to the need to interact and coexist with Anglo-Americans in public. At home, they still spoke Spanish and often dressed in Mexican styles and ate Mexican food. They remained Catholic instead of converting to Protestantism.
