Domingo Terán de los Ríos served as the first governor of Texas from 1691 to 1692. He also governed Nueva Extremadura, which covered parts of modern day Coahuila in Mexico as well as most of Texas west of the Medina river excluding the area west of about the eastern edge of New Mexico, although most of that area was effectively not under Spanish control but that of the Comanche and other peoples.
