The Empresarios aimed to promote the settlement and economic development of Texas by bringing in American settlers, primarily to increase the population and cultivate the land. They sought to establish thriving agricultural communities, enhance trade, and strengthen the region's economy. By attracting settlers, they also intended to secure land grants and economic opportunities for themselves. Ultimately, their efforts contributed to Texas's growth and its eventual push for independence from Mexico.
