Fox News
The Texas Rangers, a legendary law enforcement agency, was formally proposed after more than a decade of "ranging" across the frontier to protect settlers, on Oct. 17, 1835.
"The Rangers have been called one of the most effective investigative law enforcement agencies in the world." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
The organization is known officially today as the Texas Ranger Division of the state Department of Public Safety. It derives its name from its original mission of "ranging" across the frontier to protect settlers.
