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 remained Catholic instead of converting to Protestantism.
