Mexico's so-called 1835 Constitution was not a formal, fully fledged constitution, but two documents that amended the 1824 Constitution in a way that substantially changed the character of Mexican government: the Siete Leyes (Seven Laws) of 1835 and the 1836 Constitution Laws.

Delegates met in San Felipe to decide the future of Texas. They debated independence and creating a provisional government. They also addressed military matters. Soon they had created the Declaration of 1835.
