The Texas Rifles (Company G) is a living history organization primarly based in the Houston and Austin areas, and is composed of both military and civilian members. The military specialize in mid-to-late war Confederate or Western Federal infantry impressions (impression determined by the needs of the event being attended). We stress the authentic and accurate portrayal of the average soldier in the field. A new recruit is trained as private and learns the actual military drills and commands from the official manuals of the Federal and Confederate Armies. Military discipline is maintained much as it was in Civil War volunteer regiments: by election and consent of the majority. Our officers are elected annually and our non-commissioned officer staff is appointed by ability and experience. The leadership of the Texas Rifles can boast many decades of collective experience in the hobby. During our twenty four year history, the Rifles have participated in events throughout Texas and the United States.
Our main objective is to bring our members an experience, and a hobby, that is rewarding, challenging, and most of all fun. We work hard on authenticity and accurate drill so that our members get the most out of the events in which we participate. The Texas Rifles leadership is just as concerned with delivering safety as it is enjoyment. During events, our officers and non-commissioned officers remain close by to assure that this safety is maintained. To help ease new recruits into reenacting, we can usually clothe, arm, and equip both soldiers & civilians from our quarter-master gear and member’s extra equipment.
The following surmises the beliefs of the Texas Rifles:
