Fugitive Apprehension Unit arrests 13
in Violent Parole Violator Round Up
AUSTIN, TX – The Fugitive Apprehension Unit conducted an operation focused on apprehending and arresting Parole Violators with violent felony convictions and gang affiliations from May 3 to May 7 in Nueces County.
During this operation, 13 suspects were arrested. These suspects were on parole for offenses such as Aggravated Assault, Aggravated Robbery, Possession of Firearm by a Felon, Assault Family Violence and various other felonies.

My Brother's Keeper 
You remember the first texas rangers? They were formed to clean up the border gangs, they went anywhere and nobody complained about them. Not even when they crossed the Rio grand chasing the outlaws, they got them in Mexico and either shot them there or brought them back here then shot them. They rarely had prisoners try to escape because they were always shot. The use of texas rangers like that might be a good idea. Until you realize they were just as bad as or worse than the outlaws they were after. Most went to jail at times themselves. They were a rowdy lot but who better to find the rowdy outlaws then the same type of people. Today we don’t need that for our law enforcement, but sometimes it sure does seem like it.

Thank You very much Keith, we highly value your input!
You are right on the money here, They were some rough Boys back then.
Have you ever know any?
Our half-Brother was a rough, bad-Boy, and when we were real young, a Texas Ranger knew him by name, and he didn’t want nothing to do with that Texas Ranger.
Sincerely,
Robert
