The Texans look to capture Bexar, under the defense of General Cos.
The siege of Bexar, which begins on October 12, 1835, demonstrates how little leadership the Texan "Army" has.
When General Austin gives his army of volunteers the boring task of waiting for General Cos’s army to starve, many of the volunteers simply leave.
Throughout November 1835, the Texian army dwindles from eight hundred to six hundred men, and the officers begin to bicker over strategy and why they are fighting against the Mexicans.
Several officers resign, including Jim Bowie, who goes to Gonzales.
Austin has been appointed Commander of all the Texan forces, but his talents are not well suited for military life.
