    The missions in Texas often failed for three main reasons: the Native Americans did not want to convert to Catholicism, the Plains tribes resented the missionaries intruding on their hunting grounds, and the isolated missions frequently lacked sufficient supplies and population to survive. San Antonio was chosen as the location for several missions due to its central location between New Spain and the missions, abundance of building materials, and need to establish a Spanish presence before the encroaching French in Louisiana.
