During the formative months leading up the creation of the Texas Revolution, a number of different men, each with different plans of action and supporters held varying degrees of authority and commissions granted by the Consultation that met in Gonzales. (That body consisted of three delegates from each of the Texas municipalities. They rarely met as a complete body and seldom had a legitimate quorum.) They made appointments and decrees, issued orders and then changed them or had them changed the next day by a different group. It was a period of mass confusion.
Texas had an army of volunteers without central leadership, it authorized a Provisional Army and told Sam Houston to create it, but they also added a third element called the Permanent Volunteers which was independent and had a more favorable enlistment contract. At that point the Council authorized an attack on Mexico called the Matamoros Expedition and named Houston the Commander in Chief. He had the title, but he still had no Army.
Consensus was finally reached to form a government in favor of Mexican Citizenship under the Constitution of 1824. The majority quickly shifted and by 2 March 1836 Texas declared Independence from Mexico and the war began in Texas.
Sam Houston gained control of the army during his first term as the President of the Republic of Texas by leveraging his political connections and military experience. Appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Texian Army in 1835, he effectively organized and led forces against Mexican troops. His leadership during the critical moments leading up to the Battle of San Jacinto solidified his authority and earned him respect as a military leader. Moreover, his political acumen helped him navigate the complexities of Texas politics, ensuring his command was recognized and supported.
Sam Houston was waiting for the right moment to engage the Mexican army, specifically seeking to consolidate his forces and gain strategic advantages. He aimed to ensure that his troops were well-prepared and motivated, particularly after the defeat at the Alamo and the subsequent retreat. Houston also hoped to draw the Mexican army deeper into Texas territory, which would give his forces the opportunity to launch a surprise attack at San Jacinto. By biding his time, he aimed to increase the chances of a decisive victory.

Sam Houston played a crucial role in saving Texas by leading the Texian Army to victory at the Battle of San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, which secured Texas independence from Mexico. His strategic retreat prior to the battle helped to preserve his forces and gain critical intelligence about the Mexican army's movements. Additionally, as the first president of the Republic of Texas, Houston worked to stabilize the new nation and foster relationships with the United States, ensuring its survival and eventual annexation. His leadership and vision were pivotal in shaping Texas's early history.
