Known as the "Father of Texas" and the founder of Texas, he led the second, and ultimately, the successful colonization of the region by bringing 300 families from the United States to the region in 1825. One is of his traits is bravery because he went up to Santa Anna with things the Texans requested. He has courage because he went to San Antonio De Bexar to meet Santa Anna. He was also respectful because even though he didn’t want to be an empressario; he went to Texas, to connive his father wishes. Finally, he is honest because as soon as Mexico gained control of Texas he went to Mexico to get his land grant approved again.
