Tejano Talks #26 Plácido Benavides - Feature - (2017)
Plácido Benavides was a most unlikely hero during Texas’ quest for independence from Mexico in 1836.
Benavides so hated the Mexican federal government and Gen. Santa Anna that he stepped into the chapters of Texas history and became known as the “Paul Revere of Texas.”
Benavides, like many Tejanos, wanted Texas to remain a part of Mexico but wanted for Mexico to honor the Constitution of 1824.
Benavides heroics occurred when he was on patrol in South Texas looking for wild mustangs to tame for Sam Houston’s army. Near San Patricio he and expedition led by James Grant ran into Mexican Gen. Urrea, who was leading a second Mexican Army north to meet Santa Anna’s troops.
It all started on March 2, 1836. at the Battle of Agua Dulce Creek where Mexican troops en route to take on Sam Houston’s Army got involved attacked Grant’s men.
Benavides was ordered by Grant to save himself and warn Fannin and other Texans and Tejanos of Urrea's approach. And Off he went on his horse to warn the Texans.
Upon reaching Fannin with the warning, and learning that the Texas Declaration of Independence had just been signed at Washington-on-the-Brazos,
Fannin discharged Benavides from the army and sent him home to Victoria, where he was a prominent citizens and had married into the prestigious DeLeon family, founders of Victoria and empresarios for the area. In Victoria, Benavides served as mayor twice and was a staunch Indian fighter and supporter of the Mexican constitution of 1824.
His fortified home - referred to as the Round Top House – served as a fort, school, and refuge during t Indian raids and during the Texas revolution. After the Texas victory over Mexico, many Tejanos were encouraged to leave. Benavides, the DeLeons and others fled to Louisiana but the family had left its mark and would return. In 2011, descendants unveiled a monument honoring Benavides and the DeLeons.
Placedo, Texas, located on land of his former ranch, is named in his honor. It is between Victoria and Goliad on U.S. 87, southeast of Victoria. Benavides, Texas, in Duval County is named for his nephew by the same name – Placido Benavides. Santa Rosa de Lima Catholic Church was founded in the 19th century.
