I can see two possibilities:
1. Custer realising that:
a) USA army involvement in the Tejan rebellion against Mexico might bring his country into direct conflict with the Europeans, primarily the British over the issue,
b) that his troops advanced weapons and his officers knowledge of future technology could be of immense value to the USA,
c) that he cannot allow any of his weapons to fall into Mexican hands
accordingly he negotiates the withdrawal of this troops with Santa Anna and withdraws immediately from Mexican territory heading east.
