{{Main|Texas-Indian Wars}}
On November 25, 1864, the [[Plains Apache]] fought in one of the largest battles of the [[American Indian Wars]] at the [[First Battle of Adobe Walls]]. Carson led an army of 400 soldiers and [[Ute people|Ute]] scouts to the Texas panhandle and captured an encampment from which the inhabitants had fled. More than 1,000 [[Comanche]], [[Kiowa]] and Plains Apache attacked. Carson took a position in an abandoned [[adobe]] building on top of a hill and repulsed several attacks. After a day of fighting, Carson retreated and the Indians permitted him to leave without opposition. Iron Shirt, a Plains Apache chief, was killed in the battle. Six soldiers were killed; the army estimated that the Indians suffered 60 killed and wounded.<ref>Pettis, pp. 28–35</ref>

The last battle between the U.S Military and the Apaches in Texas were both the [[Victorio's War|Battle of Rattlesnake Springs and the Battle of Quitman Canyon]], both taking place in the summer of 1880. The last well recorded Apache raid into Texas was the McLaurin Massacre of 1881,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=111361 | title=Site of McLaurin Massacre Historical Marker }}</ref> although Apache raids in the state were believed to have happened until 1882.
