Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the difficult geography, the weak missions, and hostile Indians were the main causes of the near failure of the Spanish colonies in Texas.
Detailed explanation-2: -In early settlements across the state, the Spanish engaged in a power struggle with local groups, with neither side ever declaring full victory over the other. The missions and presidios were, however, a success for the Spanish crown in other important ways.
