Senior Captain Ray Coffman
Chief of the Texas Rangers

As Senior Captain of the Texas Rangers, I'd like to welcome you to the Internet site of the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum -- the Official State Museum, Hall of Fame and Repository for the Texas Rangers. We are honored by your interest.

This site information about our agency and its 185 year heritage of service. The Rangers have protected the people of Texas since 1823, when colonizer Stephen F. Austin called for men to "Range" the frontier.

 

Captain Jim Miller, Assistant Chief

The modern Texas Rangers are an investigative division of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The 134 Rangers authorized by the Texas Legislature are posted across Texas in six companies headquartered in Waco, Houston, Midland, Garland (the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex), Lubbock, and San Antonio with an administrative office in Austin. They have been called one of the most effective investigative law enforcement agencies in the world.

These highly motivated men and women, selected from many outstanding candidates, take pride in the colorful traditions they have inherited and the modern challenges they face. As living symbols of a unique heritage, they wear the boots, white hats and pistol belts of their predecessors.

   Captain Dino Henderson,
Headquarters Captain

As elite law enforcement officers of the 21st century, they have added college degrees, networked computers, cell phones and state-of-the-art forensic analyses. The Texas Rangers are a heritage to be valued and a symbol of service for future generations.

The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco is a cooperative project of the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Texas Rangers and the City of Waco. It preserves and interprets a unique heritage of service spanning the centuries. We hope you will visit the next time you are in Waco.
