Who was known as the emperor of Texas Was it Sam Houston Stephen F Austin?

Stephen F. Austin is often referred to as the "Father of Texas" for his role in leading American settlers into Texas, but he was never officially an emperor. The title "Emperor of Texas" is more commonly associated with a brief period in 1835 when a group of settlers declared a republic and named a man named "Emperor" but this was not an official or widely recognized title. Sam Houston was a prominent military and political leader in Texas, serving as its first president, but he was not an emperor either.
