Biographical History

The state office of adjutant general, founded in 1905 by order of the Texas legislature, aids the governor in the supervision of the state's military department.

The Republic of Texas had a similar department that ceased in 1840 and began again in 1846. In this incarnation, the office served only to verify veterans' land claims and operated only intermittently until 1905. The adjutant general is appointed by the governor, and then makes recommendations for two assistant adjutants general. The governor then appoints the two assistants. The Texas Adjutant General's Office is located at Camp Mabry, in Austin, Texas. The adjutant general's responsibilities include providing aid and personnel from the military forces of Texas, in the event of war or other national emergency.
