[ Back to Military ]
On November 24, 1863, the Texas Legislature passed a Joint Resolution stating that the government pledged
` "support and maintenance of [the soldiers'] families during their absence from home." In accordance with this
Resolution, an "Act to Support the Families and Dependents of Texas Soldiers" passed on December 15, 1863. The
Act set aside $1,000,000 annually to be paid the "families, widows, and dependents of soldiers currently serving
in State or Confederate forces, or of soldiers killed or disabled in service." Chief Justices of the counties,
on or before March 1 in 1864 and 1865, submitted lists of servicemen and the number of their dependents eligible
for relief. The County Clerk administered the money distributed to the county for this purpose.
