Chad Cooper joined the Texas Rangers because he had watched many of his friends get killed while he fought Mexicans as a member of the U.S. Border Patrol. His new job as a Texas Ranger would allow him to hunt down the Americans who had sold guns to those Mexicans.
Joe Riley joined because he was a former gunfighter who wanted to become a part of the law instead of against the law plus, as a Ranger, other lawmen who were still looking for him might back off when they heard he was now one of them.
From one adventure to the next each Ranger believed he was doing the right thing to help protect the West from thugs, thieves, murderers, bank robbers, & lying land owners & politicians. From bar room saloon brawls, to street fights & range hunters the Texas Rangers held everyone accountable if they were breaking the law.
