Makes we wonder how the state would vote in Mexican politics. I imagine the NH white population would vote for some minority interest party similar to the Bloc in Quebec, but what about the Hispanic population? My guess is conservative especially outside the big cities.

Unironically it is a violation of the self-determination of current inhabitants to give land back to countries based on perceived injustices from many decades and centuries ago.

This is a very serious thread. Tongue
I think Texas would vote for PAN in general elections. It is probably the party that best fits them anyway.
The PAN party does seem pretty socially conservative even for Mexico.

Remember that when Germany offered to help Mexico retake Texas and several other bordering states in 1917, Mexico declined the offer not only because it couldn’t win militarily, but also because it determined that managing a large English-speaking population within its borders would have been very difficult for them.
Was Texas before it became independent largely english or apanish speaking?

Spaniards first colonized this area in the early 19th century before it broke away from Mexico in the middle of the century; however, by the early 20th century, several generations had passed since Texas officially joined the US, more than enough time for the area to become majority English speaking.

Texas was already majority-English speaking by the late 1820s, maybe 1830. 

Only about 3,500 Spanish-speaking people lived in Texas when it was first organized as a Mexican State in 1821.  The area was immediately favored as a destination for American (mostly Southern) freebooters, who quickly outnumbered the Spanish.  This, along with Mexico's 1829 abolition of slavery, was the primary cause of the Texas Rebellion.
