Biography
The date and place in which Domínguez was born are unknown. He arrived in Texas, probably by passing through New Mexico. Dominguez served as adjutant inspector of several presidios of Coahuila and Texas, a job he kept until November 26, 1810. He left the presidios because the governor of Texas Manuel María de Salcedo ordered him to go to Nacogdoches. However, Dominguez made an enemy of military commander of the region, José María Guadiana, since both had different views about the Spanish control of Texas: Dominguez supported it and Guadiana did not.
So, when the Juan Bautista de las Casas Revolt broke up in 1811, Guadiana imprisoned Dominguez as punishment for his mentioned political ideas.
Domínguez fled to the region of Natchitoches, in the the neighboring Louisiana, and he lived there until the De Casas government fell in San Antonio. On May 1, 1811, Dominguez came back to Nacogdoches and ordered the Guadiana's imprisonment. After that, Dominguez temporally replaced to Guadiana as Lieutenant Governor, leaving office on September 20, 1811. He moved to San Antonio, where he was inspector of Presidios.[1] He held this position until Salcedo's death.[1] [2]
Shortly after he was appointed Interim Governor of Texas by military commandant Joaquín de Arredondo. On December 15, 1813, Arredondo elevated him to Lieutenant Governor.[1] He assumed the office of governor of Texas in 1814.[3] During his administration, Cristobal Dominguez established several laws, prohibiting yelling, trade and the burning of trash, as well as the discharge guns. In addition, he imposed strict curfews. The approbation of change of house by the Texas residents was left in the hands of the Cabildo council.[4]
Dominguez died in October 1814,[2] and was replaced by Juan Ignacio Pérez only in 1817.[1]
