Quick Scoop: Who Won the Texas Revolution?

• The Texans (Texians and their Tejano allies) defeated Mexico in the Texas Revolution.
• The decisive moment came at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, when General Sam Houston’s army routed General Antonio López de Santa Anna’s forces and captured Santa Anna.

• After this defeat, Santa Anna agreed to the Treaties of Velasco , which effectively ended the fighting and recognized an independent Republic of Texas (1836–1845).

What “Winning” Meant

• Outcome: Texas became an independent republic , no longer under Mexican rule.

• Key battle: The Texans’ surprise attack at San Jacinto forced a much larger Mexican army into a chaotic retreat.

• Political result: The Treaties of Velasco formalized the end of the war and set terms for Mexico’s withdrawal.

In short, the Texans won the Texas Revolution, and their victory created the Republic of Texas, which later joined the United States.
