A Texas report to national Selective Service shows 4126 Texans entered the armed forces in October and 3850 were separated from active service. Of the 4126 entries 848 came through draft boards and 3278 by enlistment or voluntary means. The state forwarded 1343 men to induction stations. 829 were acceptable and 514 were rejected. Induction through draft boards included six National Guard members for failure to serve. Doctors and dentists were examined with 12 physicians acceptable, four unacceptable, one dentist acceptable, ten induction orders postponed for commissions.
A total of 6 018 Texans registered in the state's 137 draft boards during October or with volunteer registrars in many towns.

He urged using nearest registrar and noted posters in high schools to remind 18 year olds. The law requires registration on or within five days after the 18th birthday with severe penalties for noncompliance.
