Detailed explanation-1: -Hidalgo was committed to returning to East Texas to continue his missionary work among the Hasinai. He was sent instead to what is now northeastern Mexico in 1698. There he helped establish new missions, including San Juan Bautista on the Río de Sabinas (in Nuevo León) in 1699.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hidalgo, Francisco (1659–1726). Francisco Hidalgo, the most patient and persistent advocate of missions among the Indians of East Texas, was born in Spain in 1659. Circumstantial evidence suggests that he was orphaned early. At the age of fifteen he received the religious habit of the Franciscans.
Detailed explanation-3: -In the first few years of the new Republic of Mexico-between 1824 and 1830-all the missions still operating in Texas were officially secularized, with the sole exception of those in the El Paso district, which were turned over to diocesan pastors only in 1852.
Detailed explanation-4: -When he departed on January 9, 1692, six disheartened friars went with him. Floods on the Neches destroyed Santísimo Nombre de María Mission the same month. The difficulty of supplying the missions over such a great distance became evident in the winter of 1693.
