Biography
Irigoyen's date and place of birth are unknown. The first thing about him is when he was appointed governor of Texas in 1798. In his years of service, he never got to hold the office.
In 1796, Manuel Muñoz began to get sick and could no longer hold the office of governor. On August 5, 1797, Pedro de Nava instructed Muñoz to deliver Bexar files to the new governor when he arrived from Spain. José Irigoyen was appointed governor in 1798, but he did not move in the region. After Muñoz death in August 1799 Nava, who was still awaiting Irigoyen's arrival, named Juan Bautista Elguézabal as acting governor. He remained governor until his 1805 death. Bexar Archives do not explain why Irigoyen did not assume office.
