The Texas Rangers, a law enforcement agency within the state of Texas, has a long and storied history going all the way back to 1823. Originally created to protect the border, the Rangers have played a role in some of history's biggest investigations, including stopping the attempted assasination of President Taft and pursuing the famous outlaws Bonnie and Clyde.
