Am not sure where you get the 16 division figure. Prior to the war the state was divided into 5 militia divisions and 10 militia brigades. In 1861 the state was divided into 33 militia ("Texas State Troops") districts, each under a brigadier general. Brief bios of those 33 are in the book "Texas Burial Sites of Civil War Notables...." that I coauthored.
