Texas State Troops, 1861-1865

Geographical Chart

From the Texas State Archives

Texas was divided into military brigade districts for the purpose of organizing State Troops for the defense of the state. Many people confuse military records they receive from the Texas State Archives that show the initials "TST" or "TM". Persons with these designations were members of the various State Troop brigades and not the regiments, battalions, companies, legions, etc. that bore Confederate States Army designations. There are two lists here, one by County/Brigade number and the other by Brigade/County number.

Counties were grouped and then numbered by the following:
