So, you have an issue with someone because they have the audacity to point out that the Texans stole Texas from Mexico? Why is that? It is what happened--just as most the US was stolen from Native Americans. There are some exceptions: Manhattan, much of Pennsylvania, etc., but for the most part that was an accurate statement. The "drunken" part of her comment I can't speak for and is doubtful at best.
Or are you claiming the the Americans who settled in Texas at the invitation of the Mexicans actually won it in a card game? Or maybe you thing Texas was just misplaced by Mexico and it's "finders keepers".
Just how was Texas NOT stolen?

When Spain entered what is now Mexico, the Aztecs were the principle military power. Cortez used other tribes that had been subjugated by the Aztecs to conquer them.
Granted, the "Texians" were not the Nobelist of settlers, but they were getting along fine being Mexican Citizens until Santa Anna declared himself Dictator and tore up the Constitution that was governing Mexico at that time.
True, the USA would have probably ended up with it all in the end. Aren't you glad we did?
