Do you think philip nolan was working with the united states goverment to take control of texas spain

Philip Nolan was an American who threatened Spanish rule. He was known as a filibuster (an adventurer who engaged in a private rebellion against a foreign country). At first he had permission by the Spanish government to enter Texas. The Spanish government became suspicious when he began to visit with General James Wilkinson. General James Wilkinson was the United States army commander of the American frontier that bordered Spanish Texas. The Spanish governor feared that Nolan was plotting to take Texas from Spain. The United States had been interested in Texas as far back as 1803 under President Thomas Jefferson. The Spanish always had a difficult time securing their northern borders. The Spanish governor warned Philip Nolan he would be arrested if he entered Texas again. Nolan ignored the warnings. Near Waco, Philip Nolan and 17 other men met up with soldiers near Waco. A fight broke out and Philip Nolan was killed. The men who were captured were taken to Mexico.
