Elquezabal ordered the construction of several schools (the first schools established in Texas) and the sending of teachers, whom obtained a one-fourth of [[peso]] per month for every student they had (although apparently only boys could enrolled to the classes, because no girl was mentioned in the documents that indicated the students who should register in the schools, only was indicated that boys should register). So, were established schools in places as [[San Antonio]], the capital of Texas, and the presidio of La Bahia del Espiritu Santo (in July, 1804). Jose Francisco Ruiz become in teacher of school of San Antonio. <ref>Jones, Oakah L. (September 15, 1996).

The government of Elguezabal should have been temporary, since, as it was mentioned above, the provincial government actually belonged to José Irigoyen, appointed by the king, who had governed Texas between 1798 and 1800. However he never returned to the province to claim its government, and Elguezabal, continued to serve as governor until his death in [[San Antonio]] on October 5, 1805.<ref name="HTJBE"/>
