Non-Ratification
- When
- 20 May 1836
- Where
- Mexico City (contextual; not an allowed structured place)
The Mexican government refused to ratify the treaties, citing Santa Anna's captivity and duress during the signing process.
President José Justo Corro's government resolved on May 20, 1836, in Mexico City to disassociate itself from all undertakings by Santa Anna while he was held captive. The signing did not commit Mexico to Texas independence. Santa Anna was not allowed to return to Veracruz until 1837.
