The History Channel has a series starting called Texas Rising that starts @ 8PM CST tonight if you're interested.

Way to much artistic license was used by the writers and producer. Sam Houston would have probably rolled over in his grave if he saw it.
 
I watched last night's episode.
Plan on watching tonight's as well.

Not being overly knowledgeable about the events that transpired AFTER the Alamo fell, I can not comment on the show's accuracy of people or events.

However, looking at it as a fan of Western movies/TV mini-series, I found it quite good last night.
In watching "Texas Rising", I am approaching it as I did back in the day, of watching "Lonesome Dove", "Dead Man's Walk", & "Comanche Moon".
In other words...for pure entertainment value.

I have watched enough of the shows on the History Channel, to know to expect inaccuracies.
I mean, seriously guys....this is the same channel that constantly has series/shows claiming that most (if not all) of the major events in human history, have been influenced by aliens from outer space.
