Mr. Lucas,
Our records indicate that the email below was sent to you on 12/10/13.
Mr. Lucas, The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) is the "penal"
part of criminal justice in Texas. In other words we are responsible for
the incarceration of offenders after they have been arrested, convicted of
a criminal offense, and received a criminal sentence. Therefore, TDCJ
would not and does not have any information concerning the operations of
Mexican military or police in Texas and the United States. The primary
state law enforcement is the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). I
apologize for providing incorrect information during our telephone
conversation. The Texas Rangers do fall under the umbrella of the DPS.
The following is the website for filing a public information request with
DPS/Texas Rangers: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/pia.htm I trust this
information is of assistance, and with this reply we will be closing your
public information requests.
We hope this information is beneficial to you.
