CATTLE RAISERS ASSOCIATION
Non-Emergency Telephone Number: 830-997-7585

Mission:
To advance and protect the stewards of land and livestock in Southwest Texas.
Who We Are:
The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers (TSCRA) Special Rangers are commissioned through the Texas Department of Public Safety or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Those Special Rangers stationed along the Texas/Oklahoma border are dually commissioned to investigate agricultural crimes in both states.
Ranchers, farmers, landowners, and those who live for this land raise high quality beef to feed families around the globe. We ensure these individuals have the tools and resources to succeed.
History:
TSCRA was founded in 1877 as a trade organization for cattle raisers and landowners. As the largest and oldest livestock association in Texas, TSCRA represents more than 17,000 beef cattle producers, ranching families, and businesses who manage approximately 4 million head of cattle on 76 million acres of range and pasture land, primarily in Texas and Oklahoma.
TSCRA provides law enforcement and livestock inspection services, legislative and regulatory advocacy, industry news and information, insurance services, and educational opportunities for its members and the industry.
What We Do:
The 30 commissioned peace officers who serve as the TSCRA Special Rangers investigate approximately 1,000 agricultural crime cases and recover an average of $5 million in stolen cattle and assets for ranchers annually.
TSCRA Special Rangers are stationed in districts in Texas and Oklahoma where they:
*Investigate thefts of cattle, horses, saddles, trailers, equipment, and even poaching
*Pursue white-collar criminals who commit agricultural fraud
*Inspect livestock to determine ownership and prevent theft after a natural disaster such as wildfire, flood, tornado, or hurricane
*Determine ownership of stray livestock
*Educate landowners on how to prevent theft and spoil the plans of thieves
*Keep the peace
TSCRA’s Law Enforcement Division has national and international reach. Reports of missing and stolen livestock and equipment are regularly distributed to TSCRA’s network of more than 700 law enforcement agencies
Presence in Gillespie County:
One Special Ranger is assigned to Gillespie County. Our Ranger shares office space with the Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office and the Fredericksburg Police Department.
Our Special Ranger also covers Bandera, Blanco, Comal, Kendall, Kerr, Llano, Mason, and San Saba Counties.
