The 12th Texas Infantry Regiment , sometimes known as the 8th Texas Infantry, was a unit of volunteers recruited in Texas that fought in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War . In spring 1862, the regiment was enrolled in Confederate service at Waco, Texas , and always remained west of the Mississippi River in the area known as the Trans-Mississippi Department . The unit was assigned to the all-Texas infantry division known as Walker's Greyhounds . In 1863, the regiment played a minor role at Milliken's Bend . In April 1864, the regiment fought in three major battles at Mansfield , Pleasant Hill , and Jenkins' Ferry . The Trans-Mississippi's formal surrender occurred on 26 May 1865, but most of the soldiers dispersed to their homes before that date.
