Additional Details

With unrest mounting in Texas, this decree invalidated a recent decree by the government of Coahuila y Tejas which had announced 400 new land grants. It also put a temporary ban on any further colonization efforts in the border states. Streeter, Texas 833 discusses the decree, and notes "No copy has been located of the first separate publication of this." This is apparently the first printing, signed in type by Secretary of State Gutierrez Estrada on the date of the original decree, and by interim president Barragán in the body of the text. OCLC traces one copy.
