For a few days they wait and Mexican reinforcements show up they are all tired and hungry as they all were, so they decided to have a big feast. They got stuffed and they took a nap. Then Sam Houston called a meeting. He said that they were going to fight tomorrow, but the Texans disagreed and took a vote and decided they wanted to do it at 3:00 p.m. that day.
