Fort Randell?

I am looking at the CSR of a relative, William J. McGrew of Montgomery, TX. He was a sergeant and eventually a 1st Lt. with Co. K, 20th TX Inf.

On Sept. 27, 1864, he was elected 2nd Lt., and the place was Fort Randell.

I can't find a Fort Randell or Randall in Texas.

Most of his enlistment for three years was spent in Galveston, Sabine Pass, and Camp Kyle. He was on detached service several times as a recruiter and once as a guard for the gunboat Sachem.

Can anyone help with where Fort Randall might have been. I find one on the Nebraska border, but doubt that could be where he was.
