Texas Independence Day celebrates the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. With this document, settlers officially seceded from Mexico, creating the Republic of Texas. UT students and Texas Exes have come to recognize March 2 as a time to celebrate both the Lone Star State and the University of Texas. In 1900, the Ex-Students Association adopted a resolution which simply states: “Whenever two Texas Exes shall meet on March 2, they all shall sit and break bread and pay tribute to the institution that made their education possible.”
