Bradburn's chosen successor, Lieutenant Colonel Felix Maria…
July 1832 CE
Piedras took temporary command of the garrison.
On July 2, he released the prisoners to the civilian authorities; within a week they were released with no charges filed.
On July 8, Piedras left for Nacogdoches, giving command of the Anahuac garrison to Lieutenant Cortina, previously the third-in-command.
Three days after Piedras left, the bulk of the Anahuac troops declared themselves federalists.
The troops were drunk and Cortina, unable to maintain order, asked Bradburn to resume command.
Bradburn refused, instead recommending that Subarán take responsibility.
After an attempt at his assassination was forestalled, Bradburn decided to leave Texas.
None of the local ship captains will give him passage.
On July 13, Subarán announces he will not guarantee the safety of any officers who support the centralist government.
That night, Bradburn leaves Anahuac; a hired guide takes him on foot to Louisiana.
Other officers seek sanctuary with sympathetic locals.
