Texas independence?

Throughout 1835, as a few tried to incite discontent, Texians informally debated the issues. In late June, a Second Anahuac Disturbance and at Velasco, ejected Mexican troops following incidents between locals and the Mexican revenue forts at Anahuac and Velasco with minor confrontations between Texian militia and Mexican troops. In July, Austin was released from jail having never been formally charged with sedition and was in Texas by August. Austin saw little choice but revolution. A consultation was scheduled for October to discuss possible formal plans to revolt and Austin sanctioned it. After the expulsion of troops from Anahuac, an enraged Santa Ana ordered more troops into Texas and began preparations for the subjugation of Texas. Despite their disgust over what had happened to Austin, the horrific events in Zacatecas, the call to disarm militias, the order to expel all illegal immigrants, and particularly the dissolution of the Constitution of 1824, the Texians as a whole were relatively loyal to a constitutional Mexico into August, several sparks ignited the powder keg in September. In August, the continued, increasing presence of Mexican troops, their unrelenting demand for individual radical Texian leaders to be delivered for military trial, and major legislative land scandals began to erode the Texians' support for the Peace party and attachment to Mexico, and to build support for the War Party and independence. In the DeWitt Colony, a centralista Mexican soldier bludgeoned Texian settler Jesse McCoy with a musket in an altercation. At Gonzalez, Mexican military authorities demanded the recall of a small cannon from local militia. September 20, General Cos landed at Copano with an advance force of about 300 soldiers bound for Goliad, San Antonio and San Felipe de Austin.
