DECLARATION OF THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS, IN GENERAL CONVENTION ASSEMBLED ... NOVEMBER 7, 1835. San Felipe de Austin: Printed by Baker & Bordens, [1835]. Broadside. 31.5 x 19.3 cm.
Streeter 89: "This Declaration, sometimes referred to as the Declaration of Causes for Taking Up Arms Against Mexico, is one of the fundamental Texas documents, second only in importance to the Declaration of Independence of 1836. It declares that the people of Texas have taken up arms in defense of the principles of the Federal Mexican Constitution of 1824, denies the right of the present authorities of Mexico to govern in Texas, and declares that the Texans will not cease to carry on war against said authorities while their troops are in Texas... The text as given in the broadside in English differs from the text in the Journals, and as reprinted in Gammel ..., by referring in the first of the eight declarations to the rights and liberties which ‘are threatened,’ while the Journals and the other authorities say ‘were threatened.’ The broadside in Spanish also has this phrase in the present tense. It seems obvious that the present tense is the correct reading."
