DPS Border Mission Skepticism Grows Over Funding Plan
The Texas DPS has failed to justify a large funding boost for border operations despite claims of results. AStatesman analysis showed DPS contributed under 10 percent of Operation Strong Safety drug interdiction. Legislators seek $800 million more in the Senate and $500 million more in the House, while DPS deflects by citing team effort and withholding breakdowns. This funding debate questions fiscal responsibility and accountability at the border effort.
