March 1842 CE

Vásquez, with seven hundred men, surprises and overwhelms the Texan forces. 

After a few skirmishes, they are unable to defend the town and evacuate to Seguin, Texas.

Vásquez, a thirty-eight-year old general in the Mexican Army during the Mexican rebellion against the centralist style rule of government, deems it a surrender and takes control of San Antonio.

He raises the Mexican flag and thus declares Mexican laws in effect.
