In the late spring and summer of 1864, the regiment found itself with General Johnston again, fighting Gen. William T. Sherman's advance toward Atlanta, Georgia. Ross's Cavalry Brigade, to which the Ninth Texas belonged, was under fire for 112 consecutive days during this campaign beginning on May 15.
During John Bell Hood's Tennessee campaign, the Ninth saw substantial action, notably at Franklin and Murfreesboro. The regiment was part of Nathan B. Forrest's rearguard as Hood's broken army retreated from Nashville. The early months of 1865 found the regiment near Iuka and Corinth, Mississippi. The regiment was surrendered as part of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi, and eastern Louisiana on May 4, 1865, and the Ninth Texas Cavalry signed paroles on May 15.
