Please send more examples of soldiers first serving in the Confederacy then in the Texas miliita.

From Thomas R. Allen's TX CSA Denton Co TX pension application #38092.

“I enlisted in October 1861 and surrendered . . . to General Reynolds of the U.S. Army at Ft. Gibson in April 1865 and was released from custody at Fort Leavenworth, KS in June 1865. . . . I first enlisted in Captain Scantlin’s Company, which was Co. A. in Welles Battalion Cavalry . . . was transferred to Capt. Shoemake's Company in the fall of 1863 and served one year and was transferred to Beard’s Company [W.A. Beard – Well’s Texas Cavalry Regiment; Co. I], with which I surrendered. . . . I was detailed to work in the hospital during the winter of 1862. ...”
.
On Jan 30, 1864, T.R. Allen, age 18, was elected as 3rd Corporal in TST Captain W.H. Shoemake's Company of militiamen. Also, since T.R. Allen said he served one year in [implied] militia, he probably first served in Capt. Birdwell's militia.
