http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/713869588

With the Civil War came the reorganization of the office of Texas Adjutant General, an act of December 25, 1861 creating an Adjutant and Inspector General, who would also serve as Quartermaster and Commissary General, and Ordnance Officer. Oversight of the 33 Brigades of the Texas State Troops plus the Frontier Regiment fell to this office. These records consist of Brigade correspondence of Texas State Troops; correspondence concerning conscription; general, special, and circular orders of military entities (of both the State of Texas and the Confederate States of America); Ranger records of the Frontier Regiment and the Mounted Regiment, Texas State Troops; records of the sick and wounded; and quartermaster records (including both State of Texas Quartermasters and Confederate Quartermasters). They date 1861-1865, and undated. To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.
