Yes, I know. I’m too lazy to type it all out...
Now there is a posting that this story is bogus.
Time will tell. A former border agent says he’s talked to the Laredo police and confirmed, but hey, who knows!
No, Texas Hasn’t Been Invaded ( I know nothing of this source)

Twitter exploded a while ago about this story, which claims that heavily-armed Los Zetas gunmen of the Gulf Cartel have taken over ranches on the U.S. side of the border.
My curiosity got the better of me, and so I called the Laredo Police Department, and had a delightful chat with the acting watch commander, Sgt. Perez.
Sgt. Perez informed me that I was her seventh caller about this claim since she came on duty this afternoon. She stipulated two things that blows holes in the invasion claim.
1. The location of the alleged invasion is outside of their city-limits jurisdiction, so they would not be involved, and;
2. while they would not be involved in any law enforcement response outside of their jurisdiction, they work closely with the county sheriff’s office and would know if such an event is occurring.
She also provided me the number of the Sheriff’s Department. The deputy that answered the phone there was less bemused, having also dealt with this rumor multiple times in a short amount of time. She also told me that there was no invasion and nolaw enforcement siege, and that deputies were continuing normal operations.
Don’t believe the hype.
This is weird. Just read on another news source. A guy is saying he talked to the police. Read this

Thoughts? I’ve read from Laredo news site that it did happen.
