Because in 1841, the Republic of Texas opened up for colonization and in 1842 Henri Castro came to Texas and found Castroville, west of San Antonio, and 3 years later, 2,000 people had come. If that doesn't answer your question - it's cheap land.

Why France settle Texas?

France did not settle Texas in the same way as Spain or later the United States. However, it did explore the region in the early 18th century, primarily for trade and expansion purposes. French interests in Texas were part of a broader effort to establish a foothold in North America, competing with Spanish claims. Ultimately, the French presence in Texas was limited and did not lead to significant colonization.
