🤠 Quick question — do you know who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence?
Most people say Sam Houston. William Travis. Jim Bowie.
But there were 59 signatures on that document. And one of them belongs to a man born right here in San Antonio — a native Texan who fought for independence, got exiled for it, came back anyway, and then helped write the document that created the state he loved.
His name was José Francisco Ruiz.
He was one of only THREE men of Spanish blood to sign Texas into existence. He later became the very first senator from San Antonio in the Republic of Texas.
And most San Antonio locals have never heard his name.
We found his historical marker — and told his story. Link below. 👇

🤠 Did you know Texas has over 16,000 historical markers — and most Texans have never stopped to read a single one?
We've been pulling over at the ones most people drive past every day, and what we've found so far has been wild. A cemetery with a name so disturbing most people think it's a joke. A hotel shaped like a steamboat that raised a WWII Fleet Admiral. A tree that a man defended with a gun. A house where workers found buried treasure inside the walls in 1912.
This is Forgotten Texas — and we're just getting started. 🏛️
