Im Jahr 1845 wurde Meusebach zum Nachfolger von Carl Prinz zu Solms-Braunfels als Generalkommissar des "Vereins zum Schutze deutscher Einwanderer in Texas" ("Mainzer Adelsverein") ernannt und ging gleich im Mai 1845 im Auftrag dieses Vereins nach Texas. Dort gründete er 1846 die Ortschaft Friedrichsburg (Fredericksburg) im Gillespie County, die er nach Friedrich Prinz von Preußen benannte; später gründete er in Texas noch die Orte Castell und Leiningen, benannt nach den Vereinsmitgliedern Carl Graf zu Castell-Castell und Viktor Graf zu Leiningen. Nach kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen mit den Comanchen schloss er am 2. März 1847 bei San Saba mit den Indianern Frieden, unterzeichnete am 9. Mai 1847 seinen berühmten Friedensvertrag und gab dadurch den beiden bedeutenden deutschen Siedlungen in Texas, New Braunfels und Fredericksburg, eine solide Basis und Sicherheit. Sprache: englisch.

Henry Fr. Fisher, authorized agent of the German Emigration Company had appeared before Meusebach in New Braunfels on Feb. 26, 1855, asserting that the company had "introduced previous to the first day of September, 1847, over and above the number of heads of families and single men already proven up before Granville H. Sherwood, commissioner, the additional number of two hundred heads of families and four hundred single men, over the age of seventeen years," and that therefore the company was entitled to an additional 20 certificates of one section of land (i.e., 640 acres of land) as part of the Premium lands secured to them by law.

Meusebach (1812-1897), born in Dillenburg, Germany, was appointed Commissioner-General of the German Adelsverein in Texas in 1845, succeeding Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels. Between 1845 and 1847, he managed to acquire headrights in the Fisher-Miller land grant and treated with the Comanche, founding three other colonies in addition to the one at New Braunfels. Over 5000 German citizens arrived in Texas as settlers between 1845 and 1847. Despite Meusebach's efforts the colonies and the company struggled with planning and mismanagement problems and the intrigues of land speculators. Meusebach resigned his commission in July 1847, but in 1854 he received an appointment from the Governor of Texas, Elisha Pease, to issue land certificates "to those immigrants of 1845 and 1846 who had been promised them by the Adelsverein," the original name of the German Emigration Company [Handbook of Texasonline].
