All the Texan soldiers captured at the Battle of Coleto were executed at Goliad, Texas, on March 27, 1836. This mass execution was ordered by General Santa Anna as part of his campaign to suppress the Texan rebellion. The event is known as the Goliad Massacre and became a rallying cry for Texan forces in their fight for independence.

Why did the Mexicans executed the Texan soldiers after the battle of coleto creek?

After the Battle of Coleto Creek in March 1836, Mexican forces, under General José de Urrea, captured Texan soldiers led by Colonel James Fannin. The decision to execute these soldiers was influenced by the Mexican government's policy of treating rebels harshly, particularly after the Texas Revolution had escalated. The Mexicans viewed the Texan fighters as insurgents rather than regular soldiers, and the executions were meant to serve as a deterrent to others considering rebellion. Ultimately, the execution of the Texan soldiers contributed to the escalating tensions and hostilities during the Texas Revolution.

They were ordered to kill all the Texan soldiers at the Alamo, and as soldiers they obeyed their orders, whether they wanted to or not. Santa Anna had promised that the entire garrison would be killed if resistance was offered. He kept that promise, sparing only the two civilians he captured. Santa Anna wanted to break the Texan will to fight by convincing them that any resistance to Mexico meant certain death.
