The Texas Rangers, officially established in 1835, are one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in North America, with a history spanning nearly 200 years. Initially formed to protect settlers on the Texas frontier, they evolved into a statewide law enforcement agency, playing roles in military conflicts, law enforcement, and border security. 

 

Early History (1823-1835):

• 1823:

  Stephen F. Austin hired frontiersmen as "Rangers" for protection against Native American attacks, marking the unofficial beginning of the Rangers. 

   
• 1835:

  The Texas Congress formally established the Texas Rangers, initially as a body of 56 men divided into three companies, tasked with guarding the frontier. 

   

The Republic of Texas Era:

• The Rangers played a crucial role in the Texas Revolution and the subsequent Republic of Texas, serving as scouts, spies, and defenders of the frontier.

• They faced challenges from Native American tribes and Mexican forces, and their numbers fluctuated due to funding and political considerations. 
   

Statehood and Beyond:

• The Rangers continued their service after Texas joined the United States in 1845, participating in the Mexican-American War.

• Throughout the 19th century, they were involved in various conflicts and law enforcement operations, including fighting cattle rustlers, chasing outlaws, and patrolling the Texas-Mexico border. 
   

Modern Era:

• In 1935, the Texas Rangers became a division of the Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS), solidifying their role as a statewide law enforcement agency. 
   

• Today, they are known for their investigative work, crime prevention, and law enforcement duties, upholding the legacy of the Rangers as a symbol of Texas history and law enforcement.
