DEFINING THE TEXAS RANGERS

There have been ranging companies in the region now known as Texas almost as long as non-Indians have called Texas home. The modern Texas Rangers date their origins from ranging companies organized by Stephen F. Austin and Moses Morrison in 1823. These paramilitary volunteers were called by many names in the 19th century -- rangers and ranging companies, minute men, mounted volunteers, mounted gunmen, mounted riflemen, spies, frontier men, Texas State Troops, Frontier Regiment, Frontier Organization, Frontier Forces, Special State Troops, Special Force, Frontier Battalion, State Rangers and Texas Rangers. Their duties were essentially the same - protect the frontier from depredations by hostile forces - regardless of origin. By 1900, the ranging companies had been reorganized into full-time crime fighting, prevention and investigative organizations, and their name had been standardized as "Texas Rangers."

Records for the early years of the Rangers, as well as some more modern records, are fragmentary. The list that follows is and will likely always be incomplete. These are the names of commanding officers that the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum staff considers to becommanders of bona fide ranging companies. It is often difficult or impossible in the pre-Civil War era to separate ranging companiesfrom the militia. In some cases the ranging companies were attached to the military and reported to military commanders.

Our primary criterion for defining who is, or is not, a Ranger is the specific assigned duty. Secondary criteria include:

● who paid the company and from which fund

● why the company was formed

● who the company reported to (chain-of-command) ● whether at any time, the company ceased to be a ranging company through incorporation into

another unit or organization

One example is the body of men from Texas who were called Texas Rangers by the press during the Mexican War of 1846 - 1848. Many had served as Rangers prior to the war, but in 1845 and 1846 they enlisted in the United States Army as volunteers. At the time of their enlistment they ceased being Texas Rangers in the service of the State of Texas and became soldiers in the service of the U.S. Army. They were paid by the U.S. Army, scouted and engaged in guerilla warfare as units of the U.S. Army, and reported (arguably) to the U.S. Army command structure.

There are, however, exceptions to this. In addition to those men who enlisted in the Army and fought in Mexico, there were those assigned to remain on the Texas frontier and continue their ranging duties. For the present we still count them among the ranks of Rangers as this home guard functioned —only on paper—as US Army soldiers. As research continues, we will continually revise and refine our selection crieria.

A few words about ranks. The following list includes Captains, Lieutenants, and Sergeants who, at times, served as the commanding officers of Ranger companies. And when a company was split into detachments and stationed long distances apart it was not unusual for several men to act as commanding officers for the same company.

Some gaps in the list reflects information not available while others are times when companies were disbanded. Ranger companies and individuals were often mustered or disbanded depending upon appropriations. It was not unusual for a company to be dismissed for economic reasons.

NOTE: The dates given, reflect as accurately as possible, the full length of duty as commanding officer as documented in the existing records. They do not necessarily reflect the full length of duty of the individual as a Texas Ranger. More information on these men and their companies can be found in the records of the Texas State Archives, Austin and the Armstrong Texas Ranger Research Center, Waco. This will likely always be a work in progress, with the goal of preserving the legacy and service of those who contributed to the command structure of the Texas Rangers. As such it does not represent a complete listing of commanders for the Texas Rangers. TEXAS UNDER MEXICO (CA. 1823 - 1835): Note: Companies were formed under Mexican gubernatorial authorization as needed and commanded by militia leadership. This began in 1823 with authority granted by Governor of Coahuila y Tejas José Félix Trespalacios (Governor August 17, 1822 until his resignation on April 17, 1823) Moses Morrison (March 1823 -???? - Ranging Company) Stephen F. Austin (ca. August 1823 -???? - Ranging Company) Hugh B. Johnson (16 January 1827 -17 February 1827)

Yount (December 1860 - Texas Rangers) CONFEDERATE TEXAS FRONTIER REGIMENT / FRONTIER ORGANIZATION - TEXAS STATE TROOPS (TST) (1861 - 1865): Throughout the Civil War, the Texas State legislature provided laws and appropriations to organize companies of men to provide frontier defense. These men were not part of the Confederate States Army but served under the command and control of officers in the employ of the State of Texas, although the organization of the troops was along military lines. The first of these groups was the Frontier Regiment, which existed from mid-1861 until December 1863 when the group was mustered into the CSA. They were replaced by the Frontier Organization, which was in existence until the end of the war in 1865. In the official State records these groups are often referred to as the Texas State Troops. A short description of the organization and responsibilities of these units can be found in The New Handbook of Texas, volume 3. A more in-depth treatment of State Troops during the years 1861 - 1865 can be found in David Paul Smith’s Frontier Defense in the Civil War. The following list is incomplete and will be modified as new information comes to light. Adjutant Generals J. Y. Dashiell, January 3, 1862.

The list below is constructed using the available information and reflects the confusion surrounding the command of the various Ranger companies. To add to the confusion of the poor records, the compiler also had to contend with the constant transfer of Captains from one company to another as companies were disbanded and emergency companies formed. Question marks are used to mark the areas of greatest uncertainty. Research on this list is continuing and as new information surfaces changes to the State Ranger commanders list will be made.
