Nine years after the end of the classic TV show 'Walker, Texas Ranger,' Chuck Norris today will be named an honorary captain in the Texas Rangers.
Norris played Texas Ranger Cordell Walker in the eight year long show, portraying a two fisted martial arts expert who enforced the law in Dallas and across Texas. Norris' brother Aaron Norris, who was the stunt coordinator on the TV show and also directed some episodes, will also be honored.
"They will be presented with this honor in recognition of the 'Walker, Texas Ranger' television series, and how it reflected well on law enforcement in general and on the DPS in particular," said Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange. The Texas Rangers are a unit of the DPS.
The brothers will be presented with certificates by Governor Perry, naming them as honorary captains in the legendary law enforcement organization, which traces its roots back to lawmen who 'ranged' across the frontier posts of what was then the Mexican state of Tejas y Coahuila in the 1820s.
"They join other notables, including John Wayne and President George H.W. Bush as honorary Texas Ranger captains," Mange says.
Unfortunately, the Norris' will not receive the 'cinco peso,' the familiar 'star in the circle' Texas Ranger badge which is by tradition made from a Mexican five peso coin. Mange says they'll have to be satisfied with certificates.

Your boss has already had his heart removed and has had the opportunity to see it still beating in Chuck Norris' hand.
Huckabee. During the last Presidential election cycle, Norris supported Huckabee.
I hope beyond hope that Chuck has seen the error of his ways. As an honorary Texas Ranger, Chuck should realize that backing Huckabee is an insult to law enforcement everywhere. While governor of Arkansas, Huckabee released Clarence Clemmons from prison...and Clemmons promptly went up to Washington State, where he killed four police officers just a couple of days over 1 year ago.
Like I said, supporting Huckabee is an insult to LEO's everywhere.
Who does Norris campaign for?
That's right, the phony charlatan dope from Hope, who's 'pseudoconservatism' is as bad as his bass playing.

Chuck Norris once bet NASA he could survive re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Chuck Norris re-entered the earth’s atmosphere, streaking over 14 states and reaching a temperature of 3000 degrees. An embarrassed NASA publicly claimed it was a meteor, and still owes him a beer.
Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that’s why there are no signs of life.
