Meanwhile, Stephen F. Austin led a force of 400 volunteers to San Antonio, where the last Mexican army in Texas was located: 800 Mexican soldiers led by General Cos. Instead of attacking the city, Austin began a siege, placing his army of volunteers around the town and waiting for the enemy to surrender.
In December of 1835, some of the Texan volunteers decided to attack the town. Led by Ben Milam, the Texan volunteers entered San Antonio and drove the Mexican army back to the Alamo. It was there that General Cos and his soldiers surrendered and promised to leave Texas forever.
Early victories gave Texans hope that they might win their revolution. Mexico, however, was not finished fighting.

In the early months of 1836, the Texans had control of San Antonio and Goliad, and they had forced the Mexican soldiers out of Texas. They also controlled the ports along the coast. The Texan’s position was strong.
Even so, the ad interim [temporary] government of Texas wasn’t working well together and couldn’t agree on the next steps they should take. After many disagreements, the government of Texas fell apart.
