As claimed by Texas State Historical (TSHA), the representatives for the convention gathered to reflect and weigh their decisions regarding the continuing dispute between them and the government of Mexico.

During the Battle of Gonzales in October, a Texas revolution occurred. It was a revolution where a cannon from the camp was almost taken and impounded by Mexican soldiers

Temporarily, the Constitution, a governmental organization created an interim government. The management was distressingly vague, but Mexico's General Council still decided to hold an election of representatives to get together in Washington.

George Campbell Childress, a politician, lawyer, and the Texas Declaration Indepence's key author decided to reside in Texas for good after a few days the General Council announced the election.

As what the TSHA has reported, Sterling C. Robert was building a new community and was paid a visit in Texas by a resident of Tennessee, Childress, his nephew came back to Tennessee in 1835 to gather and allocate funds and aides or assistants to help the Texas army. After a year, both he and his nephew were delegated as representatives to the Washington-on-the-Brazos committee.

The Texan representatives held an assembly at the small local community in a building that isn't developed and finished. During the assembly, Childress has started a movement for the independence of Texas. His determination and perseverance was recognized and was declared to lead a council to enlist the constitution.

As what the TSHA has stated, Childress pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket and announced the things stated on it during the assembly. The statement was the same as the United States Declaration of Independence.

The Texas Declaration of Independence, which was originally from Thomas Jefferson and John Locke, was granted to Childress and has exhibited its grounds. It supports human rights and is an obligation of the next generation. It also aims to overthrow a regime and replace it with another.

There was an agreement between all representatives at the start of the proclamation all representatives in case an administration abandons its people and their freedom.

The Texans finished the proclamation similarly to the declaration of the United States of Declaration of Independence, which acquires a strong and stable faith towards the blessed Providence. They stated that they boldly and optimistically entrust the matter to the Supreme arbiter of the destinies of nations as they are conscious of the integrity of their objectives.

The representatives to the convention were in disagreement with the outline of the declaration of Childress but still ended up approving it.

They believed that the Republic of Texas has begun.

After the convention proceeded with the drafting of the constitution for the new government and established a temporary administration, they heard a piece of news about Alamo and his death on March 17. They retreated from Washington-on-the-Brazos as the Mexican armies made their move.

The copies of the Texan Declaration of Independence were distributed to municipalities like San Felipe, state archives, and the public.
