The Texas Ranger Division , commonly called Texas Rangers , is a law enforcement agency with state jurisdiction in Texas, based in the capital city of Austin. Over the years, the Texas Rangers have investigated crimes ranging from murder to political corruption, acting in riot control and as a detective, protecting the Texas Governor, tracking fugitives, and serving as paramilitary forces to serve both Republicans (1836). -45) and the state of Texas.
The Rangers have taken part in many of the most important events of Texas history, such as stopping the assassination of President William Howard Taft and Porfirio DÃÆ'az in El Paso, Texas, and in some of the most notorious criminal cases in Old West history, such as John Wesley Hardin shooter, bank robber Sam Bass, and the villains Bonnie and Clyde. A number of books have been written about Rangers, from well-researched nonfiction works to pulp and other fiction novels, making Rangers an important participant in Wild West mythology. The Lone Ranger, probably the most famous example of a fictional character derived from the Texas Ranger, draws his alias from ever becoming a Texas Ranger.
During their mixed history, different Ranger traditions have evolved; their cultural significance for the Texans and then the Texans in such a way that they are legally protected against dissolution. There is a museum dedicated to Rangers Texas in Waco, Texas.

History
Rangers was founded in 1823 when Stephen F. Austin, known as the Father of Texas, employs ten people to act as a guard to protect the 600 to 700 newly settled families who arrived in Texas after the Mexican War of Independence. While there is some discussion as to when Austin actually hired men as "guards", the Texas Ranger knows the dates of their organization for this event. The Texas Rangers were officially formed in 1835 and, in November, Robert McAlpin Williamson was chosen to be the first Major of the Texas Rangers. In two years, Rangers made up more than 300 people.
After the Texas Revolution and the formation of the Texas Republic, the newly elected president Mirabeau B. Lamar, (second-elected president of the Republic of Texas), raised the power of 56 Rangers against Cherokee and Comanche, partly in retaliation for the support they gave to the Mexicans at the Rebellion Cordova against the Republic. Ten forest policemen were killed in the Battle of the Stone House in 1837. The size of the Ranger army increased from 56 to 150 by Sam Houston, as President of the Republic, in 1841, (the 2nd time he was elected president of the Republic.)
The Rangers continued to participate in battles with Native Americans until 1846, when the annexation of Texas to the United States and the Mexican-American War saw several Rangers companies gathered in the federal service. They played an important role in various battles, acting as guides and participating in the Counter-guerrilla war, immediately building a frightening reputation among Mexicans and Americans. At the Battle of Monterrey in September 1846, the famous Texas Rangers such as John Coffee "Jack" Hays, Ben McCulloch, Bigfoot Wallace, and Samuel Hamilton Walker played an important role in the battle, including general counsel William Jenkins Worth about the tactics required to fight inside the city Mexico. Richard Addison Gillespie, a famous Texas Ranger, died in Monterrey, and General Worth changed the name of Mount Gillespie hill after him. Colonel Hays organized a second Texas Rangers regiment, including Rip Ford, who fought General Winfield Scott in the Mexico City Campaign and his Anti-Guerrilla campaign along his communications path to Vera Cruz.
John Jackson Tumlinson Sr., the first alcalde of the Colorado district, was considered by many Ranger Texan historians to be the first Texas Ranger to die in his duties. One of the most pressing issues is the protection of settlers from robberies and murder by robbers. On the way to San Antonio, in 1823, to discuss the matter with the governor, Tumlinson was murdered by Native Americans. Her traveling companion, Mr. Newman, run away. Tumlinson's body was never found.
After the end of the war in 1848, Rangers were largely dissolved, but Hardin election Richard Runnels as governor in 1857 meant $ 70,000 was allocated to fund Rangers under John Salmon "Rip" Ford, a Mexican war veteran. The now 100-strong Rangers participated in a campaign against Comanche and other tribes, whose attacks on settlers and their properties have become common. Ford and his Rangers fought against Comanche in the Battle of Little Robe Creek in 1858 and then Juan Cortina in the Battle of the City of Rio Grande the following year.
The success of a series of campaigns in 1860 marked a turning point in Rangers' history. The US Army can only provide limited and little stretch protection in large areas of Texas. In contrast, Rangers's effectiveness when confronted with these threats convinced both the people of the country and the political leaders that the well-funded and organized Ranger state troops were crucial. Such powers can use a deep familiarity with the region and its proximity to the theater of operations as the main advantage that benefits it. This option is not pursued, given the emergence of national political issues (the beginning of the American Civil War), and Rangers again dissolved.
Many Rangers signed up to fight for the Confederacy after the separation of Texas from the United States in 1861 during the Civil War. In 1870, during Reconstruction, Rangers was briefly replaced by a Union-controlled version called the Texas State Police, disbanded only three years later. The state election of 1873 saw the newly elected Governor Richard Coke and the state legislature recruiting Rangers. During this time, many Rangers myths were born, such as their success in capturing or killing famous criminals and desperados (including bank robb Sam Bass and shooter John Wesley Hardin), their involvement in Mason War County Feud Horrell -Higgins, and their decisive role in the defeat of the Comanche, Kiowa and Apache communities. Apache "is afraid of the Texas Rangers... whose weapons are always loaded and whose destinations are incorrect; they sleep in saddles and eat while they are riding, or finish without... when they take our footsteps, they follow it steadily and obediently. night." Also during these years, Rangers suffered only defeat in their history when they surrendered to the Salinero Uprising in 1877.
Despite the fame of their deeds, Rangers' behavior during this period was illegitimately overdone. In particular, Leander H. McNelly and his people used a cruel method that often rivaled the brutality of their opponents, such as taking part in the death penalty and the recognition triggered by torture and intimidation.
The Rangers further saw serious action at the top of William Howard Taft and President Porfirio DÃÆ'az in 1909, preventing the killing of both presidents, and during the next Mexican Revolution. The deterioration of law and order on the Mexican side of the border, coupled with the lack of federal military forces, means that Rangers are once again called to restore and maintain law and order, in whatever way it takes, which again leads to excesses. However, the situation requires the appointment of hundreds of new special Rangers by the state, which is ignored in order to carefully screen potential members. The Rangers were responsible for several incidents, which ended on January 28, 1918, the massacre of male residents (15 men and Mexican boys from the age of 16-72) from the small community of Porvenir, Texas, on the Mexican border in the west of Presidio County. Before the decade ended, thousands of lives were lost, the Texans and Mexicans alike. In January 1919 an investigation launched by Texas lawmaker JT Canales found that from 300 to 5,000 people, mostly Hispanic descendants, had been killed by Rangers from 1910 to 1919, and that Rangers members had been involved in many acts of brutality and injustice. The Rangers were reformed by the Legislative resolution in 1919, which saw the special Ranger group dissolved and the complaints system instituted.
The Great Depression forced the federal and state governments to reduce personnel and funding of their organizations, and the number of assigned officers was reduced to 45, with the only means of transportation afforded to Rangers being a free rail line or using their personal horses. The agency was again damaged after supporting Governor Ross Sterling in a re-election campaign - but after his opponent Miriam Amanda "Ma" Ferguson won, he proceeded to release all Rangers serving in 1933.
The irregularity of law enforcement in the state causes the Legislature to involve the consulting firm to reorganize the state security agencies. The consultants recommend combining Rangers with Texas Highway Patrol under a new agency called the Texas Department of Public Security (DPS). This change occurred in 1935, with an initial budget of $ 450,000. With a small rearrangement over the years, the 1935 reform has ruled the Texas Rangers organization to this day. Hiring new members, most of whom are political decisions, is achieved through a series of examinations and performance evaluations. Promotion relies on seniority and performance in performing tasks. Today, the importance of history and symbolism of the Texas Rangers is such that they are protected by law from being dissolved.

Old West Picture
From the early days, Rangers was surrounded with mysticism from the Old West. Although the popular cultural image of Rangers is usually one of life's rough, difficult talks and quick draws, Ranger Captain John "Rip" Ford describes the people who serve him as follows:
Mostly... not married. Some of them drink intoxicating liquor. Still, it's a sane and brave man company. They know their job and they do it. While in town they did not make a braggadocio demonstration. They are not racing on the street, shooting, and shouting. They have moral discipline that develops moral courage. They do it right because it's true.
As is the case with many Old West myths such as Billy the Kid or Wyatt Earp, Rangers's legendary aura is partly the work of sensational writers and the contemporary press, who glorify and decorate their deeds in an idealized way. While some Rangers can be considered criminals wearing badges by modern observers, many of the documented stories of courage and selflessness are also woven into group history.
Despite the age of the agency, and the many contributions they make to law enforcement over their entire history, the Texas Rangers developed most of their reputation during the Old West. Of the 79 Rangers who were killed while on duty, 30 were killed during the Old Western period from 1858 to 1901. Also during this period, two of the three most famous arrests or murders took place, the arrest of John Wesley Hardin and the assassination of Sam Bass, in addition to the Texas armed arrest of Billy Thompson and others.
The American historian Andrew Graybill argues that the Texas Rangers resemble Canadian Royal Mounted Policemen in many ways. He argues that every organization protects the established order by limiting and eliminating Native Americans, by tightly controlling mixed-blooded people (African Americans in Texas, and MÃÆ'Â © tis in Canada), helping large scale breeders against small-scale. breeders and farmers who encircle the land, and break the forces of trade unions trying to regulate industrial enterprise workers.
"One Riot, One Ranger"
A well-known phrase related to Rangers is One Riot, One Ranger . It was rather apocryphal because there was never a riot; on the contrary, the phrase was coined by Ranger Captain William "Bill" McDonald, who was sent to Dallas in 1896 to prevent an illegal heavyweight prize battle between Pete Maher and Bob Fitzsimmons who had been hosted by Dan Stuart and protected by an eccentric "Judge Hang". "Roy Bean from Langtry, Texas According to the story, the McDonald's train was greeted by the mayor, who asked a single Ranger where the other lawmen were in. McDonald is said to have replied:" Hell! Am I not enough? There's only one prize battle! "
Although some measure of truth lies within the story, it is largely an ideal account written by writer Bigelow Paine and loosely based on McDonald's statement, published in Paine's 1909 Captain Bill McDonald: Texas Ranger. In fact, the fight has been massively publicized so nearly every Ranger is in hand, including all the captains and their superiors, Adj. General Woodford H Mabry. Many of those who have not yet decided to stop the fight or attend the event; and other famous lawmen, such as Bat Masterson, were also present. However, the governor's order was clear, and the fight was stopped. Stuart then tried to set it back in El Paso and then in Langtry, but Rangers thwarted his efforts. Finally, the fight took place on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande near Langtry.
This motto appears on the pedestal of a Texas Ranger bronze statue at Dallas Love Field airport, donated in 1961 by Earle Wyatt and his wife.
High profile case
Rangers Texas has helped in many high profile cases over the years. Most of them have short-term reactions, while others have received extensive coverage by press and authors alike. However, there are some cases deeply embedded in Rangers knowledge, such as criminals John Wesley Hardin, bank robbers Sam Bass, and Bonnie and Clyde.
Sam Bass
In 1878, Sam Bass and his gang, who had carried out a series of bank robberies and stagecoaches beginning in 1877, raised two stagecoaches and four trains within 25 miles (40 km) of Dallas. The gang quickly found themselves targeted in North Texas by a Texas Rangers special company led by Captain Junius "June" Peak. Bass was able to avoid Rangers until his party member, Jim Murphy, turned the informant, cut the deal to save himself, and led the law to the gang. When the Bass band marched south, Murphy wrote to Major John B. Jones, commander of the Frontier Battalion of the Texas Rangers.
Jones set up an ambush in Round Rock, where the Bass gang planned to rob Williamson County Bank. On July 19, 1878, Bass and his gang lurked the area before the actual robbery. They bought tobacco in a store, and were noticed by Sheriff Caige Grimes County Williamson, who approached the group and was shot and killed. Fierce clashes occur between criminals and Rangers and local law enforcement. A deputy named Moore was seriously injured, as did Bass. The gang quickly mounted their horses and tried to escape while continuing to shoot, and as they ran away, Bass was shot again in the rear by Ranger George Herold. The bass was later found lying helpless in the northern grasslands of the city by the authorities. They took him to custody; he died of his wounds the next day.
John Wesley Hardin
One of the deadliest criminals in Texas, John Wesley Hardin, is considered the cruelest living man, a reward he gained by killing a man for snoring. He committed his first murder at the age of 15, and confessed to killing more than 40 men for 27 years. In May 1874, Hardin killed Charles Webb, vice sheriff of Brown County and former Texas Ranger. John Barclay Armstrong, a Texas Ranger known as "McNelly's Bulldog" since he was in charge of Special Forces as a sergeant and Captain Leander McNelly's right hand, received permission to capture criminals. He chased Hardin in Alabama and into Florida, and caught up with him in Pensacola.
After Armstrong, Colt's gun in hand, take the train that Hardin and four colleagues are on, the villain shouted, "Texas, for God's sake!" and pulled out his own gun. When finished, one of his gang members was killed, and three of his surviving friends were staring at Armstrong's gun. Hardin has fainted. Armstrong's hat had been pierced by a bullet, but he was not hurt. Hardin was accused of murder, convicted, and sentenced to 25 years in prison. Seventeen years later, Hardin was pardoned by Governor Jim Hogg and released from prison on March 16, 1894. He moved to El Paso, where he began to practice law. On August 19, 1895, he was murdered during a poker match at Acme Saloon due to a personal dispute.
Taft-DÃÆ'az killing attempt
In 1909, Private C.R. Moore of Company A, "performed one of the most important achievements in the history of Texas Rangers". William Howard Taft and Porfirio DÃÆ'az plan a summit in El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad JuÃÆ'¡rez, Mexico, the first historic meeting between the US president and the Mexican president and the first time an American president will cross the border into Mexico. But tensions mounted on both sides of the border, including death threats, leaving Texas Rangers, 4,000 US and Mexican troops, US Secret Service agents and US marshals all called in to provide security. Frederick Russell Burnham, a prominent scout, was assigned to handle the personal safety details of 250 people hired by John Hays Hammond, the nephew of Texas Ranger John Coffee Hays, who besides having a huge investment in Mexico was a close friend of Taft of Yale and a US Vice Presidential candidate in 1908. On October 16, the day of the summit, Burnham and Pvt. CR Moore found a man holding a hidden palm pistol standing in the El Paso Chamber of Commerce building along the procession route. Burnham and Moore were captured, stripped, and captured would-be assassins within a few feet of Taft and Daz.
Bandit War
Bandit War, a small but large campaign during the Border War, occurred in 1910-1915 in Texas. Conflict is a series of violent attacks by Mexican revolutionaries in the American settlements of Tamaulipas, Coahuila and Chihuahua. Texas Rangers became a major combat force and protection of Texans during operations against rebels. The Mexican faction's invasion of the region was carried out by Seditionistas and Carrancistas, led by key political leaders such as Basilio Ramos and Luis de la Rosca. However, Seditionistas could never launch a full-scale invasion of the United States so they were forced to make small attacks on Texas. Most of the fighting involves the Texas Ranger Division even though the US Army is also involved in operations against the rebels. The Texas Rangers are led by Captain Harry Ransom on the orders of Texas Governor James E. Ferguson.
Violence against Mexicans
In one of the worst chapters of racial violence in US history, other Texas civilians and anglo, assisted by Rangers, attacked and killed many Tejanos and newly arrived Mexicans during the period of the Mexican Revolution. Hundreds or perhaps thousands of Latin men, women and children are killed in violence. White villagers in the border region, with active participation from Rangers, began applying Jim Crow-inspired treatment to the Latins. They confiscated or deceived Tejanos over 187,000 acres of land in the lower Rio Grande Valley from 1900 to 1910. Due to the advocacy of the State Representative JosÃÆ'Â © TomÃÆ'¡s Canales, the only Tejano at the time was in the Texas state legislature, The Texas Representative Council held hearings about the massacre but the transcript was suppressed until the 1970s.
Bonnie and Clyde
Frank Hamer, the old Ranger captain, left Rangers in 1932. In 1934, at the request of Colonel Lee Simmons, head of the Texas prison system, Hamer was asked to use his expertise to trace Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, whom Geng Barrow had engineered a successful runaway colleague. his colleague who was imprisoned at Eastham Prison Farm in Houston County. Prestoner and friend Barrow Joe Palmer had killed a guard while running away, and the Barrow gang was responsible for many car killing, robberies and car thefts in Texas alone. Nine law enforcement officers are dead in confrontation with the gang.
After tracking down Barrow's hordes in nine states, Hamer, along with officials in Louisiana, learned that Bonnie and Clyde had visited a house in Bienville Parish on May 21, 1934, and that Clyde had set a meeting point around it with members of the Henry gang. Methvin, in case they are separated. Methvin, who allegedly worked with law enforcement, made sure he was separated from them that night in Shreveport, and the posse set an ambush along the route to a meeting place on Highway 154, between Gibsland and Sailes. Led by former Rangers Hamer and B. M. "Manny" Gault, the posse includes Sheriff Henderson Jordan and Oakley Vice Prentiss from Bienville Parish, Louisiana, and Dallas County Deputy Bob Alcorn and Ted Hinton. They were in place at 9:00 that night, waiting for the next day, but without Bonnie and Clyde sign.
At about 9:00 am on May 23, the posse, hidden in the bushes and almost ready to admit defeat, heard Clyde's stolen Ford V-8 approaching. When he stopped to talk to Henry Methvin's father (planted there in his truck that morning to distract Clyde and force him into the path closest to the posse), the burners opened fire, killed Bonnie and Clyde while firing a combined total of about 130 rounds.
The murder of Irene Garza
Texas Rangers have received extensive coverage for their role in the investigation of the death of Irene Garza, a Texas beauty queen. In 1960, Garza was last seen going to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart in McAllen where Father John Feit heard his confession. His body was found five days later on a canal. An autopsy revealed he had been raped when he was unconscious and died of shortness of breath, possibly from suffocation. Feit was the prime suspect, but his case stalled for years because the Hidalgo County district attorney did not feel that the evidence was enough to secure a belief. Texas Ranger Rudy Jaramillo began dealing with the case in 2002. In 2015, under a new district lawyer, Feit is charged with murder. In December 2017, Feit was found guilty of murder by previous hate. Feit, aged 85, was sentenced to life imprisonment, bringing to cover the longest unresolved criminal case in Hidalgo County Texas.
Task
The task of the Texas Ranger Division consists of conducting criminal and special investigations; catch the wanted criminals; suppress large disturbances; protection of life and property; and provide assistance to local law enforcement in suppressing crime and violence. The Texas Ranger Division is also responsible for the collection and dissemination of criminal intelligence related to all aspects of organized crime. The Texas Ranger Division joins all other law enforcement agencies in the same persecution; under the Director's order, suppressing all criminal activity in a particular area, when it is clear that local officials are unwilling or unable to maintain law and order; also at the request or order of a court judge, the Texas Rangers may serve as a court clerk and assist in the maintenance of courtesy, life protection, and property preservation during the judicial process; and provide protection for elected officials in public functions and at other times or places when directed. The Texas Rangers, with the consent of the Director, may investigate any alleged violations on the part of other personnel of the Department of Public Safety.
Organization
The Texas Rangers internal organization still maintains a basic outline set in 1935. The agency is divided into seven companies: six District Companies assigned the letters from "A" to "F", and Company Headquarters "H". The number of personnel is governed by the Texas Legislature; in 2014, Texas Rangers officer number 150, one forensic artist, one fiscal analyst and 24 civilian support personnel. The legislature has also made provisions for temporary assignment assigned up to 300 Special Rangers for use in investigations or emergency situations. Texas Rangers headquarters is located in Austin at Texas DPS headquarters. On October 1, 2014, Texas Rangers Chief is Assistant Director of DPS Randall Prince.
Company District Headquarters is distributed across six geographic locations:
- Houston is the headquarters for Company A, ordered by Major Jason Taylor.
- Garland is the headquarters for Company B, ordered by Major Grover Huff.
- Lubbock is headquarters for Company C, led by Major Todd Snyder.
- Weslaco is the headquarters for Company D, ordered by Major Brian Burzynski.
- El Paso is headquarters for E Company, ordered by Major Crayton McGee.
- Waco is the headquarters for Company F, led by Major Chance Collins.
Division Headquarters:
- Austin is the home of the Division Headquarters, commanded by Head Randall Prince. Special Operations Groups commanded by Major JD Robertson include Weapons and Special Tactics (SWAT), Bomb Forces, Ranger Surveillance Team, Special Response Team (SRT), Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), and Border Security Operations Center (BSOC) - Joint Center Operations and Intelligence (JOIC). Special Programs include Crime Investigation Program Not yet updated and Public Corruption Unit.
Uniform
Modern Rangers (as well as their predecessors) have no specified uniform, per se, although the State of Texas does not provide guidelines for suitable Ranger outfits, including the requirement that Rangers wear western clothing. Currently, favorite outfits include white shirts and ties, khaki/tan or gray trousers, brightly colored western hat, "ranger" belt, and cowboy boots. Historically, according to pictorial evidence, Rangers wear whatever clothing they can or collect, which is usually obsolete due to heavy use. While Rangers still pay for their clothes today, they receive an early salary to offset some of the cost of boots, belts, and hats.
To carry out their horseback riding mission, Rangers adapted their personal tactics and equipment to fit their needs. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the greatest influence was from vaqueros (Mexican cowboys). Saddles, spurs, ropes and vests used by Rangers are all formed after those who are vaqueros . Most Rangers also prefer to wear the wider edges of sombreros compared to cowboy hats, and they prefer knee-high boots with high heels and pointed tips, in a more Spanish style. Both groups carry their rifles the same way, with the holster positioned high around their hips, not on the thighs. This placement makes it easier to draw while riding a horse.
Badge
The use of badges became more common in the late 1800s. Historians propose several reasons why there is no regular use of badges; among them, some Rangers feel the shiny badge is a tantalizing target. Other historians speculate that there is no real need to show badges to Native Americans or criminals. In addition, from a historical point of view, Ranger's salary is so minimal that the money required for such luxury equipment is rarely available. However, some Rangers wore badges, and the first appeared around 1875. They were made locally and varied from one to the other, but they always represented a star piece of Mexican silver coins (usually five-peso coins). This design is reminiscent of the Lone Star Texas flag.
Although Rangers are now wearing the familiar "star of the wheel" badge, it has only recently been formally adopted. The current design of the Rangers badge was entered in 1962, when Ranger Hardy L. Purvis and his mother donated enough five-peso Mexican coins to DPS to give badges to all 62 Rangers who worked at the time as assigned officers.
Officer killed
Since the formation of the Texas Division of Texas Public Security Division Rangers, 108 Rangers have died in duty. The following list also contains officers from the Texas Rangers, who are merged into the Texas Department of Public Security.
The causes of death are as follows:
