Did Houston actually fight any battle other than his victorious one at San Jacinto?

I'm asking. I really don't know. I just can't think of any defeats.

Texans had defeats, like at the Alamo and at Goliad, but those troops weren't part of Houston's army.

While thinking of victorious generals, did either Patton or Lord Montgomery ever suffer any defeats, other than at Arnhem, which battle was Monty's idea? If XXX Corps, inc. the Irish Guards, had managed to break through German resistance on schedule, even that disaster might have become a victory.
