USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -During the Texas Revolution in 1836, the provisional government authorized the first official, government-sanctioned Ranger force to patrol the Texas frontier and protect settlers from raids by American Indians.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Texas Rangers were part of another agency, but their duties essentially were the same as they had been for years. Rangers were called upon to enforce the state’s laws, with particular emphasis on felony crimes, gambling and narcotics. Rangers also were used in riot suppression and in locating fugitives.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most of the Ranger force was disbanded during the years following the end of the Mexican–American War on February 2, 1848, since the protection of the frontiers was now an official duty of the U.S. Army.

Detailed explanation-4: -Work for the Rangers picked up in 1838 when the Republic of Texas’s second elected president, Mirabeau B. Lamar, used an expanded Texas Ranger force to wage all-out war against the Native Americans, who were angry because the government of Texas was forcing them off their land.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Texas Rangers were unofficially created by Stephen F. Austin in a call-to-arms written in 1823. After a decade, on August 10, 1835, Daniel Parker introduced a resolution to the Permanent Council creating a body of rangers to protect the Mexican border.
