Uniforms Texas Cavalry Uniforms?

[HatEnjoyer]

I'm pretty busy right now, so I don't have much time to do my own research, so I thought I'd make a quick post here. What did Texas Cavalry uniforms and equipment look like? I've been researching Charles Chon of the 24th Texas Cavalry (previously known as the 2nd Texas Lancers), and I wanted to know what their uniform and gear would have looked like. The 24th were dismounted at some point during the war; did dismounted cavalry do anything different with the set-up of their uniform and/or equipment?
