Some events and characters are condensed or moved to heighten the drama following the fall of the Alamo.

"1x01_Texas_Rising" refers to the premiere episode of the History Channel miniseries , titled "From the Ashes." It originally aired on May 25, 2015.

The President and General of Mexico, portrayed as a refined but ruthless conqueror.

Critics pointed out that the Mexican Army uniforms and some Texas Ranger gear were not entirely period-accurate for 1836.

While the series captures the spirit of the Texas Revolution, historians have noted several creative liberties:

A veteran scout and leader of the Texas Rangers who suffers from advanced consumption (tuberculosis).

A survivor of the Alamo massacre who becomes a vengeful, lone-wolf killer of Mexican soldiers. Historical Accuracy vs. Drama

Despite the Texas setting, much of the series was filmed in Durango, Mexico , due to the availability of rugged landscapes and tax incentives.
