I guess everybody had their own motivation. Probably what it comes down to is that a lot of the newcomers to Texas wanted a government more like the one they were used to. The whole idea of the Mexican form of government didn't appeal to them.
Plus, the whites weren't really allowed to govern themselves in that the government was in Monclova, and so was not representative. The massacre at Zacatecas didn't help the Mexicans either.
