I don't understand what you mean by "before Texas arrived", but the mission San Antonio de Valero was established in Spanish Texas by Spaniards in 1718. The mission was relocated from its original location twice with its final location being within the fort that was known as The Alamo due to the cottonwood trees in the area. The mission San Antonio De Valero later became known as The Alamo, the cradle of Texas liberty. However, to put things in perspective, the mission San Antonio De Valero is not the Alamo - the Alamo is the fort wherein the mission is located.
