A couple nights ago on hwy 71, west of Austin, I stopped at a convenience store. Inside was a guy wearing old style olive drab fatigues. One the shoulder he had a blue patch that said 'State Police'. Below that was a green patch that said 'SWAT'. He left in a black suburban with a big antenna. I thought that the closest thing that Texas had to state police was DPS or Texas Rangers. The blue patch he wore was definitely not a DPS patch. Have we acquired a new law enforcement branch?
