Texas Rangers Mark 150 Years of Service Milestone
In Texas history the Rangers trace origins to 1823 as Stephen F. Austin formed a small guard. The 150th anniversary in 1973 underscores their evolution from frontier defenders to a DPS crime-fighting force. A Texas Ranger Hall of Fame is planned near Fort Fisher on the Brazos River at Wang to honor their enduring legacy.
