In common with California, Arizona and New Mexico, Texas has a border problem. Lake Falcon is a border between Texas and Mexico. Last year several boaters were killed by drug cartel folks from the other side. When Texas joined the Union as a sovereign nation in 1836, they retained the right to have a Navy to ward off the Mexicans, and this is their first Naval vessel of this century, small but potent. Just about every Texan is prepared to be in a gun fight, and you can't have enough guns. The Texas DPS new 36 ft Patrol/Gunboat is pictured at the Homer Garrison Law Enforcement Academy in Austin.
