Tribute to Our Fallen Employees

Texas Rangers badgeTrooper badgeAgent badge

Every day Texas State Troopers, Agents and Texas Rangers risk their lives to protect and serve Texas, and they are honored to do so. Some DPS officers pay the ultimate sacrifice, and we are forever grateful to them and their families for their courageous service to the people of Texas. The following is a list of our fallen officers, since 1823, when the agency first began as the Texas Rangers, and since 1935 as the Texas Department of Public Safety, when the Rangers and Highway Patrol were combined into one agency.
