Who Exactly Are The Texas Rangers?

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / Who Exactly Are The Texas Rangers?
Published: May 19, 2024 by VPR Producer

The Texas Rangers (no, not the World Series-winning baseball team) but the western law enforcement agency dating back to 1823 is known for patrolling the rugged Texas terrain. For almost 200 years, its members have protected tiny towns along the border and have helped solve numerous crimes and corruption throughout the state. However, the valiant group also has a darker history filled with corruption, murder, and violence against minorities. Author and journalist Doug Swanson joins Viewpoints this week to share the full narrative of the famed Texas Rangers.
