Mexico abolished slavery in 1829 (but it was delayed in Texas, but eventually slavery was technically prohibited by laws).
However more people from slave states migrated to Texas and they tried to practice slavery in Mexican Texas in various ways despite of Mexico's abolition laws which were probably enacted to curb migrants from the US in the first place. This was one of reasons why Texas Revolution happened.
When Texas became a Republic, Founding Fathers of Texas Republic enacted a constitution that explicitly allowed slavery and made it nearly impossible for slave owners to free their slaves at their will.
This slavery problem was carried on and it led to the Mexican-American war which was regarded as an unjust war by anti-slavery & abolitionists who accused the war as an attempt by the Federal government to spread slavery & add more slave states for slave owners and pro-slavery.
This incident worsened the friction between pro-slavery and anti-slavery, subsequently caused the Civil War which resulted in a lot of destruction and human miseries in the American South.
