TX HCR160

Commemorates October 9, 2025, as the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Goliad, the second armed confrontation of the Texas Revolution

The battle occurred on October 9, 1835, when approximately 120 Texian forces led by Captain George M. Collinsworth launched a surprise nighttime attack on Presidio La Bahía

The 30-minute battle resulted in Texian capture of the presidio with no Texian casualties, while Mexican forces suffered 3 killed, 7 wounded, and 21 taken prisoner

Control of Goliad proved strategically essential as it sat along the route between Béxar and the port of Copano, contributing to the eventual defeat of General Martín Perfecto de Cos

Honors the sacrifices of those who fought to secure Texas independence in 1836
