Texas Rangers

I have always wondered about how Texas dealt with the Comanches during the WBTS. Seems like I read on the internet that they pushed the frontier back a hundred miles or so? Did they have still young men in the Rangers (20-30)? Or did they have to use older men (fifties or so)? I know the Confederacy needed all the men she could get in the war. But someone had to protect folks on the Texas frontier too. Anyone know how they dealt with this problem? Thanks. James.
