Overview

• The initiative begins in Harris County with a focus on repeat violent offenders, announced at a DPS news conference in Jersey Village.
• DPS will deploy troopers from surrounding counties and increase patrols in high-crime areas to support local agencies.
• Investigators will use shared intelligence to locate fugitives and to check whether people released on bond are following court-ordered rules.
• Abbott described the operation as a consolidation of existing capacities, offering no commitments on duration, additional officers, or new funding.
• The Texas Anti-Gang Tactical Operation Center in Houston will serve as the hub, and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office said it was not invited to the announcement.
