The Battle started because the correct moment had arrived. One third of Santa Anna's Army was scattered across Texas protecting his supply route, One third of his Army was in search of the Texas government and to far away to support Santa Anna. Santa Anna's forces were having their afternoon siesta after a long march, and as was normal attacks always begin in the early morning hours and the time was then 4:30 in the afternoon.

The terrain was favorable, the Mexican cavalry was dismounted and Sam Houston's Force was at its peak.
