Greetings
from Col. Thomas A. Davis, Director
Welcome to the
Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum Web site. As you will soon discover,
this is one of the better designed, more interesting and useful Web
sites you'll find anywhere in the world.
In exploring this
site, you'll soon realize that the 107 men and women of today's Texas
Rangers are vastly different from those Rangers hired by Stephen F.
Austin to protect his fledgling colony in 1823. The history of the Rangers
is long, colorful and sometimes controversial. But three things have
not changed over the years: The power of the word "Ranger,"
a proud tradition, and a continuing commitment to protect the people
of Texas.
As Director of
the Texas Department of Public Safety, the modern-day law enforcement
agency that includes the Texas Rangers, I urge you to visit the museum
in person.
