MISSION, Texas -- Drug and smuggling gangs controlling Mexican border territory are proving an increasingly violent and sophisticated threat to Texas border law enforcement, Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzales told a state Senate committee Wednesday.
"The weapons we possess are like water guns compared to what they have," Gonzales said. "They're trying to scare us away from the border."
