Definitely not. The Texan garrison at the Alamo was wiped out to the last man. It was a sacrifice which delayed the advance of the Mexican Army for thirteen days. The first Texan victory was at Gonzales, when the war began. The only reaql battle the Texans won was the last one and that is the one that matters in a war.

Why were the Texans unable to hold the Alamo?
The biggest single reason why the Texans were unable to hold the Alamo was because there were 185 Texans in the Alamo, opposed by several THOUSAND Mexicans, who also had a strong advantage in artillery. That the defenders were able to delay Santa Ana's advance as long as they did was practically miraculous. Most accounts of the fall of the Alamo depict it as a defeat, but it was not; the Mexican victory was Pyrrhic.
