Joaquin Jackson - Texas Ranger

I got to personally meet Joaquin Jackson when I worked as a Deputy in Zavala County. He is a truly remarkable man and if he could help you in any way he would. Hope I can get a copy of his book.

Anyone remember Texas Ranger Capt. Allee; I used to hear some horror story from the elderly Hispanic community.

I knew Capt allee very well ,I grew up in carrizo springs my dad was Clint Tollett and my stepdad was JI Tumlinson (Jurd) My mother was Genineve Tumlinson I went to scool at carrizo and mrs Allee was my school teacher in the fifth grade I remember Junior allee who also was a texas ranger My uncle was buck bell or walter aron bell t/r I used to shoot Jack rabbits off capt allee's ranch for a nickel a head He bought all the shells too. my Grandpaw on the tumlinson side was Bigpaw Jim Tumlinson had a ranch out on the brundage Hwy I rember Capt Allee well!

ALLEE was the real deal. It was his breed that brought the respect that a rangers badge demands when it crosses a threshold. jackson got to ride the coat tails and enjoy the stamina of those before him.

. I remember hearing a story of that guy beating a young mexican american male. It happened in a smalll grocery downtown carrizo springs. That is only one of many. Several of them were bullies with a badge, nothing more. About Jackson, I met him but wasn't not impressed with him.

His ranch bordered with ours in Carrizo. He was nothing less of a kind person to me and my family. My grandparents (Alberto & Carmen Zambrano) always spoke well of him.

He was nice to you because you were a pretty good ass kissers. those are the only mexicans these people liked. as for him being a "real deal", so is the kkk. Nowadays ass kissers are frowned upon. I knew a couple of people who actually pissed on alee's grave. of course he should have been pissed on in real life!

Where is he buried?

Joaquin Jackson was a typical Texas Ranger, a blow-hard claiming someone else's heroics as their own. He was the only Ranger in the history of Texas who was not allowed to keep his commission after he retired. That should tell it all.

and there u have it Annette8888888

why was he not allowed to keep his commission

I first met Ranger Jackson when I was 17 or 18yrs old.I respected and admired him then and nothing has changed 45 yrs. later.
