Best Answer

His importance to Texas history is as a part of a good story (The Alamo). He was already famous before he came to Texas, and that fame is often used as a starting point for the story. Crockett was just one of several prominent figures among the Alamo defenders, though, and he didn't have much else to do with the rest of Texas history.

Who was the leader of the Battle of the Alamo representing Texas?

In nominal command at the Alamo was Colonel William Travis who shared command with Colonel James Bowie and Colonel David Crockett.
