Palmer moved to Montgomery, Texas in 1856 and practiced law. He was an ardent secessionist, and served in the state Secession Convention, signing the Texas Ordinance of Secession. He served in the Ninth Texas Legislature during the war, which met from 1861-1863.
After the war, he continued to practice law and was a partner in a mercantile business, which he sold shortly before his death on March 20, 1868. Palmer is buried in the Old Methodist Churchyard in Montgomery County, TX.
