As Captain of the Texas Rangers in Far West Texas, I would like to welcome you to the web page of Company "E." The 18 Rangers assigned to the Company trace their proud heritage to the Old West. Historic Company "E" was founded in 1874 as part of Major John B. Jones Frontier Battalion and served with distinction.

Company "E" is responsible for 48 counties covering an area approximately 550 miles in width. This makes it, geographically, the largest Texas Ranger Company in Texas. If you have never visited West Texas, it is everything you would expect to see in a western movie: cactus and foothills, along with thousands of oil wells. Local law enforcement agencies are usually small and the terrain rugged and mountainous, which leads some criminals to believe that this is a safe haven for their activities.

The Texas Rangers, as a whole, concentrate our efforts toward assisting local law enforcement agencies with major investigations. These include, but are certainly not limited to murder, robbery, sexual assault, burglary and theft. We also investigate public corruption cases where public servants are involved and provide special protection for the Texas Governor and other officials.

If you are ever in this area, please feel free to stop by and visit our Company Headquarters in Midland. We'll even buy the coffee. . .
