As Captain of the Texas Rangers in far West Texas, I would like
to welcome you to the web page of Company "E." The 18 Rangers assigned
to the Company trace their proud heritage to the Old West. Historic Company "E"
was founded in 1874 as part of Major John B. Jones Frontier Battalion
and served with distinction.
Company "E" is responsible for 48
counties covering an area approximately 550 miles in width. This makes it,
geographically, the largest Texas Ranger Company in Texas. If you have never
visited West Texas, it is everything you would expect to see in a western
movie: cactus and foothills, along with thousands of oil wells. Local law
enforcement agencies are usually small and the terrain rugged and mountainous,
which leads some criminals to believe that this is a safe haven for their
activities. The Texas Rangers, as a whole, concentrate our efforts toward
assisting local law enforcement agencies with major investigations. These
include, but are certainly not limited to murder, robbery, sexual assault,
burglary and theft.
We also investigate public corruption cases where public
servants are involved and provide special protection for the Texas
Governor and other officials. If you are ever in this area, please feel free
to stop by and visit our Company Headquarters in Midland. We'll even buy
the coffee. . .
