The rise of gang culture in Texas has been a steady one
The more prevalent gangs are, the more likely the average citizen is to cross
paths with affiliated members. As the population of Texas has increased in size
and diversity, so have the gangs of the Lone Star state.
If you're not mixed up in organized crime shenanigans, then you're probably
safe. But as the old adage goes, the more you know the better prepared you are.
West Tango Blast has taken the top spot as the state's fastest growing gang--and
it's by far the most dangerous. But there's quite a few more gangs out there
that aren't as visible as Tango Blast. Do you know what they are? And do you
know who their rivals are?
PURO TANGO BLAST
Regionally based street and prison gangs comprised of young Hispanic men from
larger Texas cities such as Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin. They are
classified as a "loose affiliation" gang. Meaning, it doesn't take very much to
get in the gang. Simply knowing a friend who has a friend is enough.
* Rivals: Mexikanemi, Texas Syndicate, Barrio Azteca, Crips
BARRIO AZTECA
TPS
A street and prison gang with origins in El Paso, Texas. This gang has 3,000
members across the country. They are heavily involved with drug trafficking,
human trafficking, extortion, kidnapping and robbery.
They have alliances with La Linea and the Juarez Cartel. Fun fact, this gang
formed in 1986 at the Coffield Unit, in Central Texas.
* Rivals: Los Mexicales, Sinaloa Cartel, Border Brothers
ARYAN BROTHERHOOD OF TEXAS
One of the largest and most violent Neo-Nazi white supremacist prison gangs, the
ABT is responsible for numerous murders and other crimes. The ABT is not
associated with the Aryan Brotherhood, despite the similarity in names.
The group has an estimated 3,500 members in Texas.
* Rivals: Aryan Circle
BANDIDOS MC
Vice via Youtube
The Bandidos Motorcycle Club is one of the major players of Texas' outlaw biker
gangs. They have a membership of about 675 in the state.
The Bandidos are renowned for their bloody rivalries with other outlaw gangs and
public shootouts.
* Rivals: Banshees, Cossacks, Los Traviesos, Kinfolk MC, Mongols MC
TEXAS SYNDICATE
Established in California's Folsom prison in 1978 to fend off the predatory
Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia gangs. The Texas Syndicate is the oldest
Texan prison gang and there are an estimated 1,300 members. Street gang activity
is reported in Austin, Corpus Christi, the Rio Grande Valley and DFW.
* Rivals: Aryan Brotherhood, Nuestra Familia, Mexican Mafia, Mexikanemi, Tango
Blast
MS-13
Presidencia El Salvador via Gett
MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, has origins in Los Angeles and is now an
international criminal enterprise feared across the country. There are an
estimated 10,000 members, with most of its Texan members found in Houston.
* Rivals: 18th Street Gang, Bloods, Latin Kings, Nortenos
