Whitman who chairs the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame project led a team to create a near forty inch high trophy using mesquite panels laser etched by Ismael Garza and with wood from Faifer and Co. in Floresville plus Texas Red Oak from Austin. Phil Parten provided illustrations. The piece will move from Wilson County Courthouse lobby to the Extraco Events Center in Waco by April 1 and be shown at the museum in the interim.

Texas Rangers History From Frontier to Modern Investigations
The Texas Rangers trace their origins to 1823 with Stephen F. Austin sending ten frontiersmen to guard settlers. They organized under the Permanent Council in 1835, patrolled the frontier against raiders, and served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Gov. Ma Ferguson dismissed the force in 1932, and in 1935 the Legislature reestablished the Rangers as part of the DPS to lead investigations of violent crime, serial offenders, public corruption, and officer involved shootings.
