9. Texas Syndicate
The Texas Syndicate originated in California’s Folson prison in the 70s to protect Texas inmates that were being preyed upon by other gangs, most notably the Aryan Brotherhood and Mexican Mafia. They are mainly Mexican-American/Hispanic but they have recently begun accepting members from Latin American countries such as Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico.
Unlike many other Hispanic gangs, the Texas Syndicate is known to be much more strongly associated with Mexican immigrant prisoners. Along with MS-13, the TS has been known to carry out assassinations for the cartel. The Texas Syndicate likes to note that they don’t hurt innocent people, but the amount of deaths on their hands is still staggering, most notably the deaths of those that betray them and rivals gangs.
The scariest part is that while it is estimated that they are around 4,000 strong, law enforcement has yet to discover just how many members the Syndicate holds.
