Texans won the battle, this was the first battle of the war.
The Battle of Gonzales (October 2, 1835) was the result of the attempts of the Mexican government to retrieve a small smooth bore cannon (six pounder) that had been given in 1831 to the settlers at Gonzales as a defense against attacks by Tonkawa and Comanche Indians. This was the first battle of the Texas Revolution (1835-1836).
