The governor said yes and asked other authorities of New Spain to approve the action. While waiting for approval, Austin traveled home. On his way, he contracted pneumonia. Once home, he learned that his proposal had been approved. He spent all his energy organizing the venture. This settlement was not just important to Austin, it would also be a historical event because it would mark the first Anglo-American settlement in Texas.
