#color(white)("XXX") #General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna

Explanation:

Most of the Mexican troops were massacred following a very brief battle. However General Don Juan Almonte (with about 400 of his men) were allowed to surrender to General Sam Houston of the Texas Army.

It wasn't until the following day that General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, the President/Dictator of Mexico, was captured attempting to escape.
