What did Sam Houston do in the Battle of San Jacinto?

Sam Houston's plan to defeat the Mexican Army was first to let the Mexican Army greatly reduce its own numbers through its own incompetence. Sam Houston did not reinforce the Alamo. He did not have the army to defeat Santa Ana at that point. He did not send reinforcements to Goliad. He did not have the troops to spare. In capturing those two outposts, the Texans lost several hundred solders. The Mexicans lost thousands. The lack of sanitation caused the loss of several thousand more. When Santa Anna finally caught up with Houston, he had a sick army. Houston pretended to prepare defensive works while Santa Anna let his troops siesta. Houston attacked a sleeping army. Santa Anna was captured in his pajamas.
