De la Garza used a building located between the Houston and Soledad streets for the minting of coins.
[1] In 1824, thanks to the success of its currency, de la Garza obtained a large extension of land (which consisted of two leagues) between San Antonio and Medina River.
Their house there, "a two-story structure", had been built forty years earlier (1801) and had three functions: as a church, a school and a community centre.
One of his sons, Leonardo Garza, became a banker, business owner, and one of the wealthiest citizens of Bexar County in his time.
[1] De la Garza died on May 5, 1851, in San Antonio, according to the State of Texas Bulletin.
