Tejas
At the moment of the information in question the name was Tejas not Texas. I have left Texas for the proper cases when it was Texas. It is not a question of if now Texas is the correct spelling but of what was the real name at those days. --User:JoaquÃn MartÃnez, talk 20:26, 24 December 2008 (EST)
- The Americans always used "Texas" as the correct ENGLISH spelling as did the Texas republic. The point is that using Spanish spellings will confuse the readers. This is an English-language encyclopedia. Spanish versions of common English words are not needed when discussing a war in 1846. RJJensen 20:31, 24 December 2008 (EST)
- Do you see in the image Tejas or Texas? The encyclopedia has to call the places by its correct name not the current name. Tejas was the official name at the time we are talking about.

- well when do you think "Texas" became the official title?RJJensen 20:51, 24 December 2008 (EST)
- It did not happen in one day as the older name had been used for long both by Spanish and Mexicans, and even by Sam Houston and his people. --User:JoaquÃn MartÃnez, talk 21:00, 24 December 2008 (EST)
