    This volume is a compilation of English translations of the contracts made between the Mexican government and the various empresarios (or land agents) who obtained the right to settle families in Texas via special colonization laws. In some cases, related correspondence between land agents and government officials is also included with the contract itself. The RTEC duplicates some Spanish-language documents found in the boxed Spanish Collection records.
