Garland, Texas -- Actor Chuck Norris for years played a Texas Ranger on television. Now he's going to become one in real life.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry is scheduled to present the actor and executive director of "Walker, Texas Ranger" with a designation as an honorary member of the famed law enforcement group Thursday.

Ceremonies to honor the 70-year-old martial arts star and entertainment action hero, who is known for doing good and going after bad guys and gals in the long-running TV series, will take place at a Texas Rangers office in suburban Dallas.

Chuck Norris writes a nice column for the online magazine, Townhall Conservative. He is a very interesting guy!

Rick Perry can’t make Chuck Norris a Texas Ranger, this is all a lie.

What this is really about is that Chuck Norris is acknowledging the other Texas Rangers.

Go Chuck!

Under his beard, Chuck Norris doesn’t have a chin. It’s another fist.

Death once had a near-Chuck-Norris experience.

Chuck Norris died 20 years ago... Death just hasn’t built up the courage to tell him yet.

Chuck Norris will never have a heart attack. His heart isn’t nearly foolish enough to attack him.

My 14 year old daughter heard this story reported tonight and she said, “Chuck Norris is a real guy? I didn’t know that!”. All she knew were the Internet jokes.
