Texas became independent in 1836, so no, the USA didn't take Texas
from Mexico. And we do not want it back ;-) Texas decided to join the
USA on 1845. The border for Texas that was reclaimed was different
from the one Mexico recognized, so that was the motivator for the
war. In the war, Mexico lost California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah,
Colorado and Arizona.
