In Texas, Mexican Americans celebrate the Mexican national holiday referred to as fiestas patrias, also called Diez y Seis de Septiembre. It commemorates Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla'sqv grito de Dolores who called for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico. In 1825, the Republic of Mexico officially declared Diez y Seis de Septiembre its national Independence Day.
