Actually Texas has belonged to six countries.  The first was Spain (1529-1685), then France (1685-1690) who set up a colony but failed, went back to Spain, then to Mexico (1810-1836) who won independence from Spain.  Texas became its own republic in 1836 until 1845 when it was annexed by the United States.  It also belonged to the Confederate States of America during the Civil War (1861-1865) when it seceded from the Union.  The USA regained control of Texas under the Stars and Stripes to this day.

I'm not sure exactly what it is you are looking for.  David G. Burnet was an interim president of the Republic of texas before it became a state.  To my knowledge, he had no formal education.  He was born into a very political family but wanted to join the Navy. He ended up trading in Louisianna, and later starting a sawmill in texas which failed.  in 1836, Houston is elected president of Texas and Burnet retires only to run as Vice President of texas in 1838.  So like I said, there's not too much on his formal education.\n\nHowever, if you were asking about the New Jersey school "Burnet Middle School" you can check out their website below.

Mexico most definitely DID NOT cede Texas to the US. Texas won her independence from Mexico in April of 1836 because President Santa Anna failed to live up to the terms of the Constitution of 1824.\n\nMost of the people who fought and died in the Texas Revolution were Mexican citizens. The majority of Texas' citizens - both Anglo and Hispanic alike - supported the Texans fight for independence.\n\nTexas was an independent Republic for ten years before joining the United States in 1846.\n\nInterestingly, when Texas won independence and joined the United States ten years later, Texas territory extended all the way up into Colorado. Do the illegal immigrants plan to recapture Colorado in their laughable plan to regain Aztlán???

John Hanson, actually. He was elected and served from November 5,1781 to November 3,1782. The next paragraph is from AOL search engine.\n\n>> Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office. Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States? It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon. A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution. \n\nGeorge Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today. And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history.<<

Samuel Houston (March 2, 1793 – July 26, 1863) 19th century statesman, politician and soldier. Houston was a key figure in the history of Texas, and, as of 2005, the only person in U.S. history to have been the governor of two different states — Tennessee and Texas.\n\nEarly life\nHouston was born in Rockbridge County, Virginia (near Lexington) to Major Samuel Houston and Elizabeth Paxton and was one of nine children. His father was a member of Morgan's Rifle Brigade during the US Revolutionary War.\n\nReceiving only a basic education, he immigrated with his family to Maryville, Tennessee in 1807, following the death of his father. His mother then took the family to live on Baker Creek, Tenn. He ran away from home in 1809 and resided for a time with the Cherokee tribe of Chief Oolooteka on Hiwasee Island. He was adopted into the Cherokee Nation and given the name Colleneh or "the Raven".\n\nIn 1812 Houston became a school teacher for six months in Maryville, Tenn. In March 1813 he joined the U.S. Army 7th Regiment of Infantry to fight the British in the War of 1812. By December of that year he had risen from private to third lieutenant. At the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in March 1814 he was wounded by a Creek arrow. His wound was bandaged, and he rejoined the fight. When Jackson called on volunteers to disloge a group of Red Sticks from their breastworks, Houston volunteered, but during the assault was struck by a bullet in the shoulder and arm. Following his recovery he was assigned as an Indian agent to the Cherokees. He left the army in March 1818.\n \nHouston was struck by a Creek arrow at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.Following six months of study he opened a legal practice in Lebanon, Tennessee. He was made attorney general of Nashville district in late 1818 and also given a command in the state militia. In 1822 he was elected to the House of Representatives for Tennessee, where he was a staunch supporter of fellow Tennesseean and Democrat Andrew Jackson and was widely considered to be Jackson's political protegé though their treatment of Indians differed greatly. He was re-elected in 1824. In 1827 he declined to run for re-election to Congress and instead ran for, and won, the office of governor of Tennessee, defeating the former governor Willie Blount. He planned to stand for re-election in 1828, but resigned after marrying eighteen year old Eliza Allen. The marriage was arranged by Allen's father, Colonel John Allen, and never blossomed into a relationship. Houston and Allen separated shortly after the marriage and divorced in 1837, after he became governor of Texas.\n\nHe spent time among the Cherokee, married a Cherokee widow named Tiana Rogers Gentry, and set up a trading post (Wigwam Neosho near Fort Gibson, Cherokee Nation), apparently drinking heavily the entire time. His alleged drunkenness and abandonment of his office and wife caused a rift with his mentor Andrew Jackson, which would not be healed for several years.\n\nPolitics\n \nHouston at the Battle of San Jacinto.On a trip to New York and Washington on business, Houston became embroiled in a fight with an anti-Jacksonian Congressman. While Houston was in Washington in April 1832, Congressman William Stanbery of Ohio made accusations about Houston in a speech on the floor of Congress. Stanbery was attacking Jackson through Houston and accused Houston of being in league with John Von Fossen and Congressman Robert Rose.\n\nThe three men bid on the supplying of rations to immigrating Indians due to Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830. Stanbery, now carrying two pistols and a dirk, refused to answer Houston's letters; infuriated, Houston later confronted Stanbery on Pennsylvania Avenue as he left Mrs. Queen's boardinghouse and proceeded to beat him with a hickory cane. Stanbery did manage to pull one of his pistols, place it at Houston's chest and pulled the trigger - the gun misfired.\n\nOn 17 April Congress ordered t

Texas was originally part of Mexico.  In the early 1820's, Mexico began to invite Americans to settle in Texas with the promise of cheap land.  However, the Mexican government, under the Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, began to violate the rights of these new Texans, who in 1835, started their own war for independence from Mexico.  By April 1836, the Texans won their indepedence and, until 1846, were a fully autonomous republic.  In 1846, Texas applied for statehood in the United States, which was strongly supported by Southern Democrats.  Many in the North believed that the admission of Texas would only further the cause of the spread of slavery, which it did.  The admission of Texas also led to the Mexican-American War through a dispute over the border, which allowed the United States to conquer Mexico and take nearly half of its territory, in the form of the modern American Southwest (i.e. New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and California).  Peace out.

Texas is a state in the South and Southwest regions of the United States. It joined the United States in 1845 as the 28th state, after nearly ten years as the Republic of Texas, an independent country.\n\nThe state name derives from a word in a Caddoan language of the Hasinai, táyshaʔ (or tejas, as the Spaniards spelled it), meaning "those who are friends," friends or allies. Spanish explorers mistakenly applied the word to the people and their location. (The Texas Department of Transportation pays homage to the origin of Texas' name in its "Drive Friendly" safe driving campaign.)\n\nWith an area of 268,820 square miles (696,241 km2) and a population of 22.5 million, Texas is the second largest U.S. state in both area and population, and the largest state in the contiguous 48 states in area. (Alaska is the largest U.S. state in area and California is the most populous.) Texas has historically had a "larger than life" reputation, especially in cowboy films.

Texas entered the union on December 29, 1845 by TREATY with the US government not annexation like all of the other states. It is for this reason that Texas is the only state allowed to fly its flag at the same height as the Star Spangled Banner.
