I was researching Texas for a paper I had to do, and I came across the website for the Texas State Library and Archives Commission that said some stuff about the British wanting Texas as a protectorate to be their source of cotton or something similar.

"[US President] Tyler’s first attempt to get involved in the Texas issue came in 1843, when the president offered his services to Mexico as a mediator in the ongoing dispute over Texas. Under Tyler’s tripartite plan, Mexico would acknowledge Texas independence and cede the port of San Francisco to the United States. Great Britain would pay Mexico for the cession and receive the Oregon Territory from the United States in return. But like most of Tyler’s plans, the tripartite agreement never went anywhere. Neither Britain nor Texas was impressed, and Mexico openly threatened to go to war with the United States if Tyler pursued the matter. "
(Sorry about the long quotes but it seems set up to be an event for Victoria.)
"As far back as 1831, Southern radicals like Calhoun had spoken of seizing Texas and making it part of the great cotton kingdom. Now, Calhoun wrote, it was going to happen—one way or the other. If Texas annexation were rejected, the South would not stand by and allow Texas to come under the domain of Great Britain. Rather than let that happen, the Southern states would secede and join with Texas in a new Confederacy."
(Seems interesting. Even if an empty threat, maybe a revoltrisk increase.)
There is a lot of stuff that might be useable or not, but I find it interesting and it seems absent and its presence might make a few new options for an independent Texas.
"England, now working with the help of France, had worked for months to bring about recognition from Mexico. The so-called “Diplomatic Act” provided that Great Britain and France would guarantee the peace at the Rio Grande. The British had gone so far as to promise they would go to any extreme—even war—to prevent U.S. annexation, if Mexico would concede to the independence of Texas."
(They did not go to war over it, they backed down. Sounds like "guarantee independence to Texas" and et cetera.)
Even if these might be a slim chance, an option presented in an event might more accurately represent what happened with the Republic of Texas.
I'm not saying "hey guys make this for me," I'm just presenting interesting information to people that might be interested. (If this is already known and has been created or rejected as or in a mod then direct me towards it please.)
