Texas HCR159 commemorates the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales, a pivotal event in the Texas Revolution.

Texas HCR159 commemorates the 190th anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales, a pivotal moment in the history of Texas. The battle marked the start of the Texas Revolution, stemming from discord between the repressive Mexican government and Texas colonists. Tensions escalated when the Mexican Army attempted to reclaim a cannon in Gonzales, leading to conflict on October 2, 1835. The Texans' refusal to surrender the cannon and their subsequent victory over the Mexican troops symbolize courage and resolve, serving as an inspiration to those who oppose tyranny.
