Well really the revolution was due to Mexico betraying Spain and failing as a centralized government as Spain said they would. I think you are missing that Texas had always been distinct - not just part of Mexico/Spain - and that those immigrants didn't suddenly pop there right before to pick up Texas but had been living there since it was Spanish territory. Even France wanted to buy Texas as a distinct entity at one point.
