Manuel Lorenzo Justiniano de Zavala y Sáenz was born on October 3, 1788, in the town of Tecoh, Yucatán, to Anastasio de Zavala y Velázquez and María Bárbara Sáenz. Young Zavala's parents were criollos, SpanishBasques born in the colonies. Zavala was a third-generation Yucatecan. His grandfather, Simón Felipe Antonio de Zavala y Marín, was born in 1725 son after his father, José, had moved to the peninsula from Peru. Simón became a notary as a legal representative in Spanish-speaking countries.
In 1807 Zavala married Teresa Correa y Corres. They had three children: a son named Lorenzo Jr., a daughter named Manuela, and a daughter that died at the age of 1. Teresa died in the spring of 1831.
Lorenzo de Zavala is a little known Texas hero who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, helped write the Texas constitution, and served as the Republic's first vice president.
He also was on a commission assigned by Texas President Sam Houston to design a flag for the Republic of Texas. Today, the Zavala Flag is traditionally referred to as “The First Flag of Texas.”
In the TV mini-series “Texas Rising” the Zavala Flag is shown waving across the Texas plains after the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
Born in Yucatan in 1788, de Zavala could not live by idly as Santa Anna took over Mexico with an iron hand. Zavala did the only thing he could to weaken the leader's iron grip: he moved to Texas and helped bring about the Texas Revolution.
In Texas, de Zavala settled...

Lorenzo de Zavala is a little known Texas hero who signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, helped write the Texas constitution, and served as the Republic's first vice president.
He also was on a commission assigned by Texas President Sam Houston to design a flag for the Republic of Texas. Today, the Zavala Flag is traditionally referred to as “The First Flag of Texas.”
In the TV mini-series “Texas Rising” the Zavala Flag is shown waving across the Texas plains after the signing of the Texas Declaration of Independence.
Born in Yucatan in 1788, de Zavala could not live by idly as Santa Anna took over Mexico with an iron hand. Zavala did the only thing he could to weaken the leader's iron grip: he moved to Texas and helped bring about the Texas Revolution.
In Texas, de Zavala settled his family on Buffalo Bayou across from what would become the site of the Battle of San Jacinto. The Texas Army used his home and ranch as a shelter and hospital before and after the historic battle
He represented Harrisburg Municipality at both the Consultation of 1835 and the Convention of 1836, where he signed the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico.
At the Convention of 1836, de Zavala was elected vice-president of the ad interim government of the Republic of Texas.
Zavala died on Nov. 15, 1836, and is buried in the family plot near the San Jacinto Battlefield.
Zavala County was formed in 1858 and named in his honor.
In 1931, the state of Texas erected a monument at his gravesite. The Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and Library is located on Brazos St. in Austin.
From helping form the revolution against Mexico in Texas, to designing the first Texas flag and serving as vice president of the First Republic of Texas, Lorenzo de Zavala is a true Texas hero and one valiant Tejano.
