No CSMR cards but Index card contain the handwritten notation:

Comments from elsewhere:

Page 1: "One set of records for Clinton Fort can be found in 7 Texas Infantry. "
Page 1: "Dewitt Clinton Fort was sometimes called a "bushwacker" and a "guerrilla"…"

Believe this is him:

De Witt Clinton Fort (June 8, 1830, Hardeman County, Tennessee – May 25, 1868, Hempstead, Texas). He was a member of the Texas House of Representatives and soldier in the Confederate army during the American Civil War.
