A small force of Texans traveled down the Texas coastline, defeating Mexican troops at Goliad and at Fort Lipantitlán.
After victories in several skirmishes, including the Battle of Concepción and the Grass Fight, the Texans attacked Bexar.
At the Rio Grande, the army divided; Santa Anna led the bulk of his troops toward Bexar, where he laid siege to the Alamo.
The remaining troops, under General Jose de Urrea, traveled up the coastline, easily defeating Johnson and Grant at the battles of San Patricio and Agua Dulce.
Susanna Dickinson, the wife of an Alamo occupier, her infant daughter, Angelina, and Joe, a slave of William Barret Travis, were released to tell Sam Houston what had happened.
Santa Anna was captured in hiding the following day and he ordered his army to return to Mexico, ending the Texas Revolution.
