TX Rangers do work under TX Dept of Public Safety (as do their troopers), but they are plain-clothes criminal investigators (like detectives or special agents), not uniformed patrol/traffic cops. They have a long history in TX, long before the state was within the union, and have an excellent reputation within the law enforcement community.

Here's their website with more info: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/texasrangers/

One of their primary duties is to help smaller law enforcement agencies who may not have the resources for large scale investigations. I have used them many times over the years. They are very squared away individuals for the most part.
