THE TEXAS RANGERS

APRIL 25, 2026

The city of Texarkana is divided in half by the Texas-Arkansas state line. Route 82 passes right through the middle of the city, which used to have a population of around 30,000. Texarkana, Texas is located in Bowie County, named after Jim Bowie who was killed at De Alamo.

We finally reached Texarkana just as the sun was coming up. As we approached the Texas border, there were six police cars sitting there with flashing lights. Slowly rolling to a stop at the road block, Baldwin and I approached ten officers who were armed to the teeth. Our M4’s were dangling by their slings and we made it a point not to touch them.

The officers held their guns in a low ready position while watching our every move. One of the officer’s stepped forward, closing the gap between us to a few feet. “Howdy boys. I am Captain James Walker. What brings y’all to Texas?”

I noticed he was dressed like a cowboy. He had on a white hat, boots, and blue jeans. I spied the shiny badge pinned to his chest. It was a star in a circle that read in big letters: TEXAS RANGER.

Captain Walker had a weather-beaten face full of premature wrinkles and dark skin which I assumed was a suntan. He stood about my height, in seemingly good shape. I guessed his age to be in the mid-fifties. He just looked like a tough old cowboy. The other men appeared to be in their late twenties.

I replied, “Good morning, Captain. I’m Jack Gunn, and this is George Baldwin. We’re just passing through Texas on our way to the Comanche Nation and then to Arizona.”

He glanced at our Hummers with machine guns and then peered down the line of our convoy. “Are y’all military people?”

“No sir, but we’re working for the Army.” I handed him the letter from Captain Sessions.

He read the letter and handed it back. “The letter doesn’t state what your business is about. You know, we can’t let just anyone into Texas, especially people with fire power like you got.”

“We’re on a classified mission so I can’t tell you any more than that. Like I said, we’re just passing through Texas, as fast as possible.”

Ranger Walker nodded his head and put his hand on his six-gun, while kinda leaning to one side. “Where y’all from?”

Baldwin replied, “From Florida, sir. We got all this fire power cause going across country and you don’t know what you’ll run into. There are still terrorists out there.”

“Yep, we know that. That’s why we got road blocks up on every major highway. We don’t want them coming here and making trouble for Texans.”

He stood there for a minute looking at us. I said, “Ranger, do you believe in God?”

“Yes. What’s that got to do with anything?”

“I can tell you we’re on a mission for God to help save the country.”

He looked at me like I was crazy. “A mission for God?”

“Yes, that’s right.” I pointed at the convoy.
