James Harper Starr (signed as Ja H Starr) and Mirabeau (Buonaparte) Lamar (signed as Mirabeau B Lamar) are the two signatures I see.
Sam Houston was the 1st and 3rd president, Mirabeau Lamar was 2nd, Anson Jones was 4th and last. Starr was Lamar's 2nd of 4 Secretaries of the Treasury from 1839-1841.
Houston had four Secretaries of the Treasury during his two terms as President (Smith, Daingerfield, Stickney & Miller.) The "Government of Texas" notes also featured Smith/Houston, Smith/Lamar and Dunlap/Lamar signatures.
It is likely that none were signed by Houston himself, but by Cooke, who authorized Houston's signature to be there in the first place. That doesn't seem to deter Lone Star State collectors from wanting to own something with the legendary soldier, revolutionary, and politician's signature on it, even if he didn't sign it personally...
