Treasury warrant, partly printed in orange and black, completed in manuscript, 7 x 17 cm. Signed by C.R. Johns, comptroller.

A single one dollar warrant, apparently detached from a larger sheet (remnants of another warrant along the bottom margin).

Both the Texas issued warrants and the Confederate dollar were in circulation in Texas during the war, but by late 1861, the value of the Confederate notes had fallen and the Texas governor had called for the issue of additional warrants. The Texas legislature complied in January 1862, "making both Confederate notes and state warrants acceptable for the purposes of most Texas tax obligations.".…
