Jewish Texans have been a part of the history of Texas since the first European explorers arrived in the region in the 16th century.[1][2] In 1990, there were around 108,000 adherents to Judaism in Texas.[2] More recent estimates place the number at around 120,000.[3] Spanish Texas did not welcome easily identifiable Jews, but they came in any case. Jao de la Porta was with Jean Laffite at Galveston, Texas in 1816, and Maurice Henry was in Velasco in the late 1820s. Jews fought in the armies of the Texas Revolution of 1836, some with James Fannin at Goliad, others at the Battle of San Jacinto.
