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. In the context of the larger war for Texas independence against Mexico, the defense of the Alamo was a spectacular victory, because it delayed Santa Ana's army for weeks, giving the main force of the Texans to be gathered for the following battles.
