Texas and 2 other states rebelled against the rule of Santa Anna because he was a thug that tore up the Mexican constitution of 1824 - we don't here about the other two states because the revolt there was crushed.

Texas won, Mexico lost - get over it. Of course, you can always speculate about what San Antonio would look like today if Mexico had won: Instead of a shining, modern city, it would be just another slum like the cities in Mexico - polluted, poor, crime-ridden, and plagued with drug violence.
