Morphology

Texas + independence + day

The phrase is transparently compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'Texas' (a place), 'independence' (freedom from control), and 'day' (a commemorative date) can infer this is the day marking Texas's independence. The [Place] + 'Independence Day' pattern is common cross-linguistically, so the specific historical details are not required to understand the basic meaning.

Etymology

Texas Independence Day remembers when Texas declared 'independence' from Mexico on March 2, 1836. People celebrate it every year, so the name means 'the anniversary of Texas becoming independent'.
