Not only that! Remember the Fredonian rebellion? The militia from Villa de Austin (San Felipe) was Called out. (1827) and marched with the Mexican forces to put down the revolt!

Also

In 1832 Santa Anna was treated like a savior by the anglo inhabitants of Villa de Austin!!!! When he became a
Centralist was when things went down hill. Although he was elected to the office of president he did not serve. He left that up to the VP. Valentín Gómez Farías! Look him up. He was a pretty good fellow.

Santa Anna is worth a deep study if you have time!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
