	Handbook of Texas Online:
		The annexation of Texas to the United States became a topic of political and diplomatic discussion after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 and became a matter of international concern between 1836 and 1845, when Texas was a republic.
		In September 1836 Texas voted overwhelmingly in favor of annexation, but when the Texas minister at Washington, D.C., proposed annexation to the Martin Van Buren administration in August 1837, he was told that the proposition could not be entertained.
		Annexation then became an issue in the presidential election of 1844; James K. Polk, who favored annexation, was elected.

	Annexation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Annexation (Latin ad, to, and nexus, joining) is the legal incorporation of some territory into another geo-political entity (either adjacent or non-contiguous).
		Annexation may be the consequence of a voluntary cession from one state to another through purchase or other treaty, or of conversion from a protectorate or sphere of influence, or occupation through military conquest.
		The assumption of a protectorate over another state, or of a sphere of influence, is not strictly annexation, the latter implying the complete displacement in the annexed territory of the government or state by which it was previously ruled.

	Texas Annexation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Texas Annexation of 1845 was the voluntary annexation of Republic of Texas by the United States of America as Texas, the 28th state, and additional land that later became major parts of the states of New Mexico and Colorado, where the headwaters of the Rio Grande exist in the San Juan Mountains.
		Despite the fact that Mexican leader Antonio López de Santa Anna warned that annexation would be "equivalent to a declaration of war against the Mexican Republic," Tyler signed the treaty of annexation with Texas in April 1844.
		A factor, always in the background, during the Texas Annexation discussions in the United States was the realization of the northern states that the slave states would gain the representation of two new Senators when Texas was admitted as a slave state.

	Tharrington Smith, LLP: Annexation (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Annexation of territory into a city can occur three ways: by act of the legislature; by the voluntary request to be annexed by the affected property owners; and involuntarily, by action of the city council.
		The philosophy of the involuntary annexation law is simple: For orderly growth, a city should be able to add territory when that area has become urbanized — and once the territory is added, the city should be obligated to provide services at the same level as within the existing city.
		If the annexation record submitted by the city to the court shows substantial compliance, the burden is on the protestors to show that the statutory requirements were not met and that their substantive rights were materially prejudiced as a result.
