Yes it is True.
Alonso Alvarez de Pineda (1494-1520) - A Spanish traveler and map-maker, Pineda and his group were likely the first Europeans in Texas, asserting it for Spain. Little is known about Pineda's initial life, in any case, in 1517, he was cruising for the Spanish Governor of Jamaica, Francisco de Garay.
