4th Annual Company "A"

Company “A” encompasses a thirty-five county area bounded to the east by the State of Louisiana, to the south by the Texas Gulf Coast; to north and west by Companies “F” and “B.” The region includes the Houston metropolitan area - one the fastest growing
areas in the United States. More than six million residents and a diverse spectrum of industries call southeast Texas home. Major Grover Huff and his 25 Rangers proudly continue the Company “A” tradition of keeping Texans safe and secure.

The core duties of the Texas Rangers have changed very little in the almost 200 years of Ranger service to the State of Texas. Modern-day Rangers still conduct criminal and public corruption investigations, apprehend wanted felons,
suppress major disturbances, respond to and investigate acts of terrorism, and render assistance to local law enforcement in suppressing crime and violence. In addition to those responsibilities, new threats posed by organized crime, terrorism, drug cartels, and natural disasters have stretched them far beyond their traditional roles of criminal investigation and law enforcement.

In the fall of 2017, Houston and southeast Texas were pummeled by Hurricane Harvey – one of the costliest natural disasters ever to hit the United States. The disastrous flooding affected millions of people in the region, causing more than 100 deaths
and inflicting $125 billion in property damage. Company “A” Rangers were on the front lines of Hurricane Harvey relief efforts leading rescue and recovery missions in severely affected areas of southeast Texas. Many Company “A” Rangers and their families suffered catastrophic damage from the flooding. In true Ranger fashion, all put their own interests aside and continued to work tirelessly to help others.
