Believe he served in Colonel Joseph J. Cook’s 1st Texas Heavy Artillery (Cook’s Regiment)
Here is a discussion of the mutiny in which he was killed. I cannot locate a record of his service

Info regarding the mutiny of the Galveston Garrison on August 10, 1863
Discussion in 'Researching Your Civil War Ancestry' started by ann, Jul 10, 2012
The story goes that Amon Morris (from Sabine Co) was serving in Galveston and he was stabbed by a man named Kemp on Aug 9th the night before the mutiny. Interesting aspect of this which might just be coincidence is that Amon's wife's maiden name was Kemp. I do not know under whose command he served as there appears no record of his time in the Confederacy but his wife did apply for a Pension after the war.

Confederate Indigent Families Lists (1863-1865)
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. Please note that lists were not compiled in every county; those counties are not represented in the index.
The information varies somewhat from county to county. While the number of dependents are always given, additional information may include some of the following elements: name of the soldier; currently in service; disabled or killed in service; unit; acting head of household.
Please be aware that only an index of names appears at this site. Linda Mearse has transcribed the records on file in the State Archives in her book, Confederate Indigent Families Lists of Texas 1863-1865. In order to help preserve the original records, please request the Mearse transcription through interlibrary loan. Please contact your local library for further details.
