It would be interesting to learn about the hierarchical organization in pre-independence Texas.


For pre-independence Texas: Until 1839, Texas was part of various Mexico dioceses. Most recently, from around 1777 until 1839, it was under the Diocese of Linares o Nueva León (currently the Archdiocese of Monterrey). In 1839, the Prefecture Apostolic of Texas of erected. This was upgraded to the Vicariate Apostolic of Texas in 1841. Finally, in 1847, the Vicariate was upgraded to a Diocese and the name was changed to Galveston. Kraft 15:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
