One other note,, from what I have read,, the Comanches hated the Mexicans a lot more than they did the Texans. They would often raid Mexican villages and encampments while leaving the Americans alone.

They regarded the Texans as a particularly ferocious tribe of whites who gave back as good as they got and often times more. Consequently requiring a pretty good reason to engage them ie; Texas Rangers.
