The Dressing Point massacre occurred 2 years after the 1824 Constitution of Mexico was passed in Mexican Texas.
The Dressing Point massacre refers to the murder of 40-50 Karankawa people in Mexican Texas near present-day Matagorda by a party of White colonists in 1826. 
 However, the 1824 Constitution of Mexico set up a federal structure, with the province of Tejas joined with the province of Coahuila to form the state of Coahuila y Tejas.
