Texian forces laid siege to the Mexican-held Alamo in San Antonio, aiming to capture the city and gain control over Texas.

This victory bolstered morale among the Texian rebels and set the stage for further confrontations in the struggle for Texas independence.

San Antonio was notably affected during the Texas Revolution, particularly during the Siege of Bexar in late 1835. The Texian forces besieged the Mexican garrison at San Antonio de Béxar, leading to its surrender on December 9, 1835. While the city itself wasn't completely destroyed, much of the Mexican military presence and fortifications were dismantled, significantly impacting the area's control. The term "destroyed" could also refer to other conflicts, but this siege is a key historical event associated with San Antonio.
