Yes, it was. The Texas troops at the Alamo held off a Mexican seige by 6,000 men with less than 300 soldiers. They did not win, but the 13 day battle at the Alamo gave Sam Houston time to gather troops to fight the Battle of San Jacinto where they won the war.

The battle of the Alamo is considered the

Yes it was. The Texians suffered defeat at the hands of Santa Ana forces. However, they are remembered for their stand at the Alamo and inspired the Texas Revolution which lead to their winning at San Jacinto and then becoming the Republic of Texas.

Yes,it was the part of the war of Independence for Texas that inspired the rallying cry for it to be continued until Santa Ana was defeated.

Yes. Davy Crockett and a handful of Texas patriots held off the Mexican army for days.

Yes, if you want to call it that.
BTW, Davy Crockett was not from Texas. He served as a US senator from Tennessee or Kentucky (I forget which) before fighting (and dying) there.
