Yeah, and they didn't want to become Catholics which was mandatory under Mexican law.  And they didn't like the strong central government, wanting a much larger emphasis on states rights instead.  And then there were the economic reasons.  The population was only about 50,000 people back then; roughly 5,000 blacks, 20,000 whites, and the rest Mexican/Indian, and even THEY preferred Texas Independence.

I'm sorry, what was your point?
