More than likely, it didn't!
Some say it was the Alamo defenders championing the cause of the Mexican Constitution of 1824. This was decreed three years after Mexico won it's independence from Spain in 1821, establishing the "United Mexican States" as a Federal Republic. Thereby, it allowed states, including the Mexican State of Coahuila y Texas, certain rights and a degree of self government.
However, this was overturned by Mexican Dictator, Santa Ana. The Constitution that gave Texans rights they had grown accustomed to, was now being taken away.
While there were factions among the Texans wanting the re-establishment of the Constitution, and thus, why some feel the Flag of 1824 was flown, many scholars feel it was highly unlikely that by the time of the Alamo, they wanted to fight to the death for the cause of the Constitution of 1824. Rather, it seems by this time that they were fighting for the cause of Independence - period!
Think about the circumstances at the time of the siege of the Alamo. Unbeknownst to the Alamo defenders, the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836. This was several days before the Alamo fell on March 6th. However, this did not mean that William Travis was unaware that something like this was in the offing. In fact, he sent representatives to attend the Washington-on-the Brazos convention where the declaration was officially signed. Does it sound like they would be fighting for the 1824 Constitution or for Texas Independence?
Finally, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that the 1824 Flag did not fly over the Alamo. However, the same is true of it having been flown over the Alamo. The fact is, it was highly unlikely.

Why was the Alamo war being fought?
The battle of the Alamo was fought as part of the Mexican Civil War after Santa Anna tore up the constitution of 1824 and appointed himself as Emperor of Mexico with unlimited power. The flag that was flown over the Alamo was the Mexican flag the same as today with the addition of a large 1824 printed across it.It was not until after the slaughter, and despite the revisionist attempts to change what happened, it was a slaughter, and the subsequent disrespect shown the dead that Texas was declared an independent Nation. Another fact that the revisionist what changed is the fact that there were a great many Mexican inside the Alamo who died defending their hard won freedom.As a final insult to the defenders Santa Anna had the bodies thrown into a pile added lamp oil and wood and burned the bodies, then had the ashes scattered. After the battle of the Alamo and the murder of the prisoners captured in Goliad on their way to reinforce Travis in the Alamo, they were simply lined up and shot then left where they lay, Texas was declared an Independent Nation and was so for 10 years.The country of France built a beautiful Embassy in the new capitol of Austin while Great Britten had their embassy in a suite of rooms in the nicest hotel in the old capitol of Houston. The Texas Embassy to Great Britten is in London, and is the home of a Tex-Mex restaurant by the same name. Actually the restaurant is next door to the actual embassy which is a wine shop, but we shan't quibble over a few feet. The Brits should get an "A" for making the effort!
