Stephen Austin was the first American impresario to bring settlers to Texas. He was loyal the the Mexican government until Santa Anna voided the Mexican Constitution and pronounced himself dictator.
Why did Mexican officials want to bring more settlers to Texas?because they were trying to colonize Texas and make it part of Mexico.
Texas
Mexico had been promoting immigration to that region to the point where there was a huge influx of American citizens interested in the cheap land (as if they didn't have enough). This worried the Mexican government, who decided to restrict immigration and take away some of the land granted to the american settlers. This pissed them off royally, and they rebelled.
Texans wanted independence from Mexico, largely due to their reliance on slavery, after Mexico ended the practice.
Relations between the Mexican government and American settlers in Texas begin to deteriorate because settlers refused to convert to Catholicism or free their slaves.
In Texas
Slavery.
Mexico may have favored European settlers over American settlers in Texas because they believed that Europeans would be more likely to assimilate into Mexican culture and follow Mexican laws, whereas American settlers were seen as more likely to resist Mexican authority and potentially seek to annex Texas to the United States.
Mexicans invited the American settlers into Texas. Texas-Mexico invited Americans to settle in Texas to stop Indian attacks. These settlers were required to be Catholic, become Mexican citizens, and follow Mexican laws.

Anglo settlers were colonist in Mexico and Mexican settlers weren't
Yes, Mexicans lived in Texas before American settlers arrived. The region was part of Spanish territory, and after Mexico's independence from Spain in 1821, it became Mexican land. Mexican settlers, including Tejanos (Texans of Mexican descent), had established communities and ranches in Texas long before the influx of Anglo-American settlers in the 1830s. This rich cultural heritage laid the groundwork for the region's diverse history.
During the Texas annexation and the Mexican- American war. Also Mexico was not strong enough and american settlers were moving in steadily.At the Texas Revolution (1835-1836)
