Further aggravating the dispute is the fact that the Texans have issued a dubious territorial claim that expands the republic's southern and western boundary from the previously accepted Nueces River to the Rio Bravo del Norte.
By claiming all of the land up to the headwaters of the Rio Bravo del Norte, the Texans have more than double the size of their republic to include parts of present-day New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, and all of present-day western Texas.
