Explanation:

The Colonization Law of 1823 was issued under the Mexican Emperor Augustín and was meant to increase the population of Texas as the Mexican war for Independence had depleted a significant portion of the Mexican nation.

Stephen Austin had previously gained permission from the Spanish to bring families to Texas but the New Mexican Government refused this until Austin travelled to Mexico City and met them in person.
