Texans just doing the work that the federal government won’t do.

Think we could convince the Navy to get some of John Kerry’s riverine patrol boats out of mothballs and put them on the Rio Grande? Oh, never mind, that’s right, we can’t even get The Won to build a fake fence to protect the border. So I guess the Texas DPS has to get into the PT boat business.

Just more cops thinking they are military and wasting taxpayers money while violating taxpayer civil rights.

Has there been ONE single incident that Texas needed a gun boat???

I guess a 20MM Gatlin Style whiz bang was too expensive and heavy for the boat.

I hope there is upper hull shielding and some grenade launchers as well.

Nice digs.

Drones with Hellfires would be more efficient

It’s not a large navy yet, but is a start.

God bless Texas.

Nice boat, but if history is any teacher the Zetas are not going to be intimidated by that.

I would not want to be on the puppy when they run into the Zeta boat that has 20 mike-mike.

Or a twin 40 Bofors.

They need this boat because the feds have made it safe on the border. And while the TSA is fondling you at the air port, just remember how safe it is by having wide open borders and these six .30 machine guns are only needed for the hobby of strafing minnows.

Just out of curiosity, how does a vehicle designed and built to be used in a liquid environment patrol a hard concrete highway? It does say Texas HIGHWAY Patrol on the boat.

As if that thing couldn’t be heard coming a long way away so illegals will just hide behind a rock until it passes. There’s good and bad points but it beats anything the national government is doing.
