The Texas Volunteer Guard was reorganized by the 28th Legislature,
Regular Session, on April 1, 1903, as the Texas National Guard. All able-bodied
citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 were liable to militia service. The
state militia was divided into two classes: a Reserve Militia composed of all
persons liable to militia duty; and the Texas National Guard composed of
volunteers accepted as such by the commander-in-chief. The Governor of Texas
would serve as commander-in-chief until such time that the National Guard was
called into the service of the United States. The National Guard could be
called "to execute the laws, to suppress insurrections,
repel invasions, and protect the frontier from hostile incursions by Indians or
other predatory bands." In peacetime, the Texas National Guard was not to
exceed 5,000 officers and enlisted men. As of 1987, "the
Texas National Guard may not exceed 37,000 officers and enlisted persons except
in case of war, insurrection, invasion or the prevention of invasion, the
suppression of riot, or the aiding of civil authorities to execute state
law."
The Governor (commander-in-chief), with advice and consent of the
Senate, appoints an Adjutant General with the rank of brigadier-general, plus
all other officers of the Texas National Guard. The commander-in-chief also
originally appointed a Quartermaster General, who would also be Chief of
Ordnance. (The current law calls for the appointment of Assistant Adjutants
General.)
On August 5, 1917, the Texas National Guard was drafted into federal
service, forming the 36th Division, which was to be mobilized during World War
II as well.
These records consist of military orders, correspondence, printed
matter, records of personnel, records of property, records of payments for
services, and a calendar of riot duties. They comprise records of the Texas
National Guard, 1902-1931, 1939, 1941-1945, 1950, and undated (bulk
1903-1911).

Restrictions on Access
Texas National Guard Officer's exams
and Medical officer's exams may be restricted
under the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A., Government Code, Section 552.122,
"Exception: Test Items"). A request to see records
in either of these two series will require that the State Archives seek an Open
Records Opinion from the Attorney General before the files can be provided to
the researcher. Such a request should be in writing.
Restrictions on Use
Letterpress books are extremely fragile; pages are tissue-thin and
bindings are either broken already or ready to break. Therefore they may not be
photocopied, and must be treated with great care.
The large volume of General Orders is also very fragile. Therefore
it may not be photocopied, and must be treated with great care.

Military orders,
1903-1920, 1922-1923, 1942-1943
(bulk 1906-1911),
2.38 cubic ft. |
|
These records consist of military orders for the Texas National
Guard, dating 1903-1920, 1922-1923, 1942-1943 (bulk 1906-1911). They include
printed and typescript general orders and circulars, plus a handful of special
orders, issued mainly by the War Department in Washington, D.C., but also by
several subsidiary federal headquarters, and by the Adjutant General of the
State of Texas. There are separately-bound indexes for War Department general
orders and circulars for the years 1908 and 1909. |
|
In addition, there are three volumes containing pasted-down
general orders and circulars issued by the War Department between January 1906
and December 1910. Those for 1906 and 1907, plus part of 1908, are not
duplicated among the loose orders. |
|
Finally, one enormous, fragile volume contains General Orders from
June 24, 1870 through January 8, 1912. The entire range of military
organizations for this time period is represented: State Police, State Guard,
Reserve Militia, Frontier Forces, Frontier Battalion, Ranger Force, Texas
Volunteer Guard, and Texas National Guard. For the time period 1903-1912,
military orders concerning the Ranger Force are included, along with those
concerning the Texas National Guard. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged by issuing office, then by type of
order, and chronological therein. |

Correspondence,
1906-1907, 1911-1916, 1920-1928,
undated,
0.94 cubic ft. |
|
These records consist of correspondence of the Texas National
Guard, dating 1906-1907, 1911-1916, 1920-1928, and undated. One group consists
of letters, memos, and telegrams received and sent by the Adjutant General of
Texas between 1911 and 1915, mainly regarding the encampments of those years.
Specific topics of discussion include attendance, leaves of absence, sick
reports, reports of maneuvers, schedules, transportation to and from, supplies,
etc. |
|
A specific set of files represents the correspondence of Captain
James M. Love, 12th Infantry, Inspector-Instructor, Organized Militia of Texas
(1915-1916). These include letters and memos to and from Captain Love, orders
concerning him, and other items marked as his copies. |
|
In addition, there is a register of 54 regimental letters received
between January 17, 1906 and July 23, 1907, giving date of receipt of the
letter, file number, name of the writer, the date and subject of the letter,
and the action taken (e.g., "L[etter] S[ent] 3-February
17, 1906," or "Circular No. 1, March 8,
1906.") A separate volume is an index to this register. |
|
There are four small "correspondence
books," or registers with indexes: one for Company B, 144th Infantry
(1922-1928), one for the 56th Machine Gun Squadron (1924), and two that are
unidentified. |
|
Finally, of unusual interest is a group of letters consisting of
copies of personal correspondence produced by John A. McKee, Chief Clerk,
Finance Branch, Property and Disbursing Office at Camp Mabry (1920-1923). In
addition to letters to various relatives, this correspondence reflects Mr.
McKee's activities as Financier of the Austin Council of the Security Benefit
Association, as Secretary of the Mary-Rebekah Lodge (Oddfellows) of Austin, and
as a Methodist Sunday School Superintendent. |
|
The researcher should be aware that additional correspondence can
be found in the Departmental correspondence series
of the Adjutant General Department's records. |
|

These records are arranged by type of correspondence, and then

pamphlets to sizable training manuals. In addition, there are a number of
newspaper clippings dating mainly from 1903-1917. |

Rifle and pistol practice reports,

|
|
|
These records consist of various reports of small-arms practice
by the Texas National Guard, dating 1903, 1905, 1907-1913, and undated. |
|
|
|
The majority are Returns of Scores of Rifle and Revolver
Practice (1909-1913), which provide the following information for each company:
names and ranks; scores and total number of years qualified for each
classification (marksman, sharpshooter, and expert), for both rifle and
revolver; remarks; the company figure of merit; and a requisition for rifle and
revolver practice medals. |
|
|
|
The Reports of Small-Arms Firing of the Troops (1903, 1907-1911)
are annual consolidated reports, giving the following data: regiment and
company; average strength; total number of men qualifying for each
classification (i.e., sharpshooter, marksman, etc.); total number firing rifle
and carbine; total firing pistol; average score; and remarks. Most are
oversized. |
|
|
|
There are two sets of narrative reports on firing, accompanied
by charts, for the Camp near Leon Springs (August, 1905), and for Camp Mabry
(1909). |
|
|
|
There is a Score Book for Rifle Shooting, compliments of the
United States Cartridge Company (which advertises within the booklet),
containing only six filled-in score sheets, dating November 9, 1905. There are
also a handful of score cards, two for regiments (3rd Infantry, and Coast
Artillery and Signal Corps, dating 1909), and two for individuals in the 56th
Machine Gun Squadron. |
|
|
|
Finally, there is an undated, oversized Bulletin of a National
Rifle Competition, which gives the names, the scores for each type of contest,
and the totals for each state team, listed alphabetically by state. |

Officer's exams, 1904-1911, 1918, undated,
4.4 cubic ft. |
|
|
|
These records consist of the examination papers of 337
candidates for commission and/or promotion as officers in the Texas National
Guard, dating 1904-1911, 1918, and undated. These exams, administered by a
board of three officers, required short answers on a wide variety of topics,
e.g.: guard duty, military law, field fortifications, firing regulations,
camping, aid to the injured, riot duty, etc. The files vary in content,
typically including questions (occasionally selected from an enclosed printed
booklet), answers, enclosures, accompanying orders and letters, and
recommendations of the board. Some are typescript, some longhand, some a
combination of the two (typed or printed forms with space for the answers in
longhand). Many candidates have more than one exam, and there are also some
re-exams. Often more than one candidate was examined at a time, with the
packets therefore being split. |

Medical officer's exams, 1904-1906,

|
|
|
These records consist of the examination papers of 27 candidates
for commission as assistant surgeons in the Medical Corps of the Texas National
Guard, dating 1904-1906 and 1910-1911. These exams, administered by the
Department of Public Health and Vital Statistics, were usually in longhand, and
consisted of short answers on a wide variety of medical topics, e.g.:
chemistry, practice, surgery, hygiene, anatomy, physiology, materia medica and
therapeutics. The name of the examinee is marked on the outside of the exam,
usually accompanied by a nom de plume or alias
(e.g. "Busted," or "Many men of
many minds") apparently to insure objectivity in grading. Each section of
the exam was given a numerical grade. Those exams without a date were
apparently taken in 1904-1905. |

Accession Information |
|
Accession number: 1933/001 |
|
The majority of these records (at least those between 1903 and
1911) were transferred to the Texas State Archives by the Texas Adjutant
General's Department on February 21, 1934. Accession records are too incomplete
to determine when the remainder were transferred. |
|
Restrictions on Access |
|
None. |
|
Restrictions on Use |
|
Letterpress books are extremely fragile; pages are tissue-thin
and bindings are either broken already or ready to break. Therefore they may
not be photocopied, and must be treated with great care. |

quartermaster item for each officer; both volumes contain indexes. Five
volumes, plus a partial volume placed in a folder, contain lists of
quartermaster and ordnance stores received by captains of the Texas National

list quartermaster and ordnance stores shipped to each company, giving place,
date, which captain and which company, destination, box number, description of
the shipment, weight in pounds, and name of the packer. Two shipping books
(1905-1907 and 1908-1912) provide date received, date of invoice, number of the
bill of lading, number of boxes, the sender, and the articles shipped. Housed
in a folder is a bound individual clothing record for Company B, 144th
Infantry, dated 1928, that gives each soldier's name, the quantity, type, and
size of clothing issued to him, and date of issue. Finally, there are five
letterpress books containing outgoing quartermaster correspondence, each
containing an index, covering the years 1902-1905; the first one, covering
1902-1905, is mainly from the quartermaster of the Ranger Force. |

|
These records consist of a bound, typescript volume, labeled
simply "Texas Volunteer Guard," of unknown
provenance. This volume contains two distinct sections. |
|
The first 21 (unnumbered) pages constitute an alphabetical list of
companies of the Texas Volunteer Guard, 1880-1900, and is described elsewhere
in this finding aid, under the Texas Volunteer Guard records,
Index of companies and calendar of riot duties,
1880-1903, fractional. |
|
The second section gives a list of the organizations of the Texas
Volunteer Guard and the Texas National Guard that were called into active
service for the suppression of riots, mobs, or other unlawful acts (October 1,
1903-September 15, 1908 for the National Guard). The list includes the
following information: the date, the name of the company, the city, the
captain, the purpose of the service, and the duration. This ten-page list is
followed by copies of two letters: one from the Chief of the Division of
Militia Affairs of the War Department to the Texas Adjutant General (December
4, 1908) requesting the information; and the reply from the Adjutant General
(December 18, 1908). At the foot of each of the three sections is the notation:
"[Source:] Originals in Adjutant General's
Papers." |
