Texas Rangers |
| The Texas Rangers are an unique surviving
link to the old west and one of the most modern and respected law enforcement agencies in
the world. Cowboy hats and boots exist side by side with the new technology of
today. The Texas Rangers were the first law enforcement group in Texas to act for
the common defense. In Wilson County there were many Texas Rangers and some of them
played a big part in Texas history. For example, the Brady Brothers were born in
Wilson County and served here until they died. They did much for Texas like protecting the
people from bandits and other criminals. There are also many, many other Texas
Rangers that did the same and then some for Texas. The Texas Rangers are divided
into groups and they are named after the letters of the alphabet. If a college graduate
with the proper education applies to be a Texas Ranger, they get assigned to one of the
group such as A, B, C and so on. Most of this information comes from the website |
