Residents of the modern U.S. state of Texas are known as Texans.

However, the people of Texas recognize many different immigrant groups that came to Texas over the centuries. There was Spanish immigration in the 1600s, French in the 1700s and massive German, Czech, Swedish, Irish, Scottish and Welsh immigration leading up to Texas Independence in the 1800s. Thus, the word Texian is not specific to Anglo immigrants or English speaking immigrants that settled the land, yet Texian refers to anyone of any color and language not of local Tejano heritage.

Also of note; the Texian Army that was organized for the Tejano Rebellion for Tejas Independence from Mexico in 1835-36 was a very diverse group of men and women from many different nations and or states. The Texian Army was made up from the local native born Tejano volunteers, United States volunteers from states like Alabama, the Carolinas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and nations like England, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
