Seeking Texas Army military record of Benjamin Tennille

Searching for the record of Benjamin Tennille who joined General Samuel Houston's Texas Army. Benjamin Tennille wrote the letters from Nacogdoches 23 March 1836, and from San Jacinto 24 April 1836. How do I proceed? NATF Form 86 does not have the Battle of San Jacinto as an option in the drop down menu. Thank you.

The records of the Republic of Texas are held at the Texas State Library and Archvies: www.tsl.texas.gov. Some of those records are available online I did find one in the Republic Claim files for Benjamin Tennile : https://www.tsl.texas.gov/apps/arc/repclaims/viewdetails/30867

I would try and contact them to see what else they have, although many of the staff are working remotely currently.
