Coach--

I haven't been a student of the Texas revolution in any detail, but considering the mix of people in San Antonio and at the Alamo in 1836, it makes sense that some of the Hispanics who were indigenous to what became the Republic of Texas fought for independence alongside the Gringos.

By the way, if you caught Season 1 of the TV series "The Son" (with Pierce Brosnan) you get some idea about the types of hostilities continued along the border for a long time, and also prejudice and violence against Hispanics who had sided with the Gringos against Mexico.
