PROTECT THE LEGACY. PRESERVE THE STORIES.

Some pieces of Texas Ranger history can never be replaced.
The Tobin & Anne Armstrong Texas Ranger Research Center at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum preserves photographs, documents, records, and stories that connect us to the men and women who served Texas.

The Texas Ranger Association Foundation is raising $40,000 to help provide fireproof archival file cabinets to protect these important historical materials.
Help us protect the history of the Texas Rangers for generations to come.

Yesterday, we remembered September 8, 1900, when one of the deadliest natural disasters in American history struck the Texas coast.

The Great Galveston Hurricane, a Category 4 storm with estimated winds reaching 145 mph, devastated Galveston Island. Entire neighborhoods were destroyed, and an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people lost their lives, making it the deadliest hurricane in U.S. history.

In the aftermath, Texas Rangers were called to Galveston to maintain peace, protect property, and uphold the law amid the devastation and chaos.

The Ranger service came with great personal risk. As Galveston struggled to recover, a yellow fever epidemic swept across the island, claiming the life of at least one Texas Ranger.

The story of the Rangers is not only one of battles and outlaws. It is also a story of service in times of crisis and standing with Texans when they need help most.

On September 1, 1935, the Texas Department of Public Safety officially began

operations, marking a significant turning point in the proud history of the Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers, whose roots stretch back to 1823, became a division of the newly created Department of Public Safety. This transition brought the Rangers into a modern, professional law-enforcement structure while preserving the traditions of service, courage and dedication that had defined the Rangers for more than a century.
The creation of DPS did not create the Texas Rangers, it ushered them into a new chapter of their storied history. From the Republic of Texas to the modern day, the Texas

Rangers have remained committed to one enduring mission: serving and protecting the people of Texas. ⭐️
