Texas Independence Day History:
On March 2, 1836, Texas severed ties with Mexico and became a free and independent republic. It was a short-lived country. A little less than 10 years later Texas joined the Union. As early as 1900, March 2nd became a day for Texas Exes to observe a holiday. A great deal of tradition and sentiment surrounds the celebration on the local level. In that year, The Ex-Students Association adopted a resolution: Whenever two ex-students of the University of Texas shall meet on Texas Independence Day, they shall sit and break bread and pay tribute to the institution which made their education possible.
