Talk:Texas Legation

Notability?
Why is this worthy of an article? It's interesting, but... --AW 18:37, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The article is notable more for the Texas Legation content than for the restaurant, but the restaurant is more widely known today. This article might be more properly located at Texas Legation with the two sections reversed, and redirects from Texas embassy & Texas Embassy.
 * If the restaurant did not exist, the Legation information could be worked into History of Texas or Republic of Texas. However, the restaurant does exist, and with its visibility, it is a notable footnote to the Legation that would be awkward in either of the above articles.  It was with this in mind that I added the information here.
 * After writing the above, I will in fact move the article to Texas Legation —MJBurrage • TALK  • 22:08, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Cool --AW 07:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * IN part, this is worthy of an article because, as noted above, it is "cool" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.193.142 (talk) 23:51, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Word usage
I am curious if the author penned this sentence to infer it as is written "an independent Texas was probably [not]viable..." or is it "an independent Texas was probably [en]viable (jealously wanted)" Both seem plausible it would seem as having an independent Texas would (then as now) be a great strategic ally but the sad fact remains in those days the finances wouldn't work out as history shows.

Here is the sentence: "Nonetheless an independent Texas was probably inviable for financial reasons, and when the Republic became a state in 1845 the embassy was shut down." Kargin (talk) 03:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I believe the implication is that back then (before oil drilling) Texas did not have the financial resources to survive independently with a hostile Mexico to the south. At the same time, Britain (still in control of Canada) wanted counterweights to growing U.S. influence on North America. So the U.K. first supported an independent Texas, and later an independent Confederacy. —MJBurrage(T•C) 15:37, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

D.C.?
It said there was a Texas Legation in Washington, D.C. Does anyone know were it is? And if so could someone add it to the Locations section. --Gimelthedog (talk) 03:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Brussels, Amsterdam
Youtuber "Half as Interesting" claims here that there was also a Texan ambassador in Brussels and Amsterdam. After a bit of digging, I ran into Foreign relations of the Republic of Texas which is much more detailed with a lot of overlap with this article. Should these be merged, or is there a good chance that this article can significantly expand beyond what should be available in Foreign relations of the Republic of Texas ? effeietsanders 16:07, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
