The Texas Navy played an important role in a number of key victories for the Texan forces, including the capture of San Antonio de Béxar in 1835, the Battle of Galveston in 1837, and the Battle of San Jacinto in 1836.
After the revolution, the Texas Navy continued to operate as part of the Republic of Texas. However, it was later disbanded in 1846 when Texas became a state of the United States.
