The James Long expedition (Second Republic of Texas) occupied the presidio in October 1821 and held La Bahia for three days. On the fourth day they were captured by the Mexican army and sent to San Antionio and finally to Mexico City as prisoners. James Long was accidently shot and killed by a guard, but it was possible that the guard had been hired to kill Long by Jose Felix Tresplalacios, nominal commander of the Long expedition.
