The 20th Texas Cavalry originally organized with 8 companies. Later it acquired its additional 2 companies for the usual CSA total of 10 cavalry companies. Shortly after it was re-organized, Co A (McKie's) was taken away from the regiment. From 1862 through 1864, it was a nine-company regiment. In 1864 it was reduced to a four-company battalion.
