It is the other way around: Regiments are sub-commands of a Division. This is true for US and British and German and for other wars. US Infantry Division were formed in 1941 into Triangular Divisions to reduce the size from the WW1 divisions. Each Division consited of Three Infantry Regiments with additional companies and special battalions such Artillery and Engineer. Each Infantry Regiment consisted of Three battalions; each Battalion containing 4 companies(3 infantry Companies and 1 heavy weapons company). So Companies A, B, C, & D(heavy weapons) were part of the 1st Battalion; Co. E, F, G, H with 2nd Battalion and Co. I, K, L, M with 3rd Battalion. A typical US Infantry Division totalled 15,000 men with fully organized. A Regiment was about 3,000 men.

What is the fourth Texas infantry regiment?

The 4th Texas Infantry Regiment was not a unit in WW2. The divisions and regiments were not associated with a State in the name of the unit. Instead, the 4th Texas Infantry Regiment fought in the American Civil War (1861-1865) on the side of the Confederates States. It was made up of men from Texas. I think it served in General Hood's Texas Brigade that fought with distinction in Virginia.
