[EXCERPT] . . . .

It was started by Francisco "Panchito" Gonzales and Juan "Pajaro" Solis-Vela in the year 1970 in the Folsom prison of California. The latter was, at one time, part of "T-Birds," the downtown street gang in El Paso while the former whose roots lie in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, established the gang to protect itself from the violent Nuestra Familia and Mexican Mafia of California. While Texas Syndicate was a small-scale organization within California, it grew in scale in Texas State, after its members returned to Texas having served prison sentences in California. The lethal prison gang profits from intense trafficking of drugs, gangland executions, burglaries/thefts, and extortion. It started extortion as well as raping weaker fellow inmates. A number of prison offenders started hating the TS for these heinous offenses. In the year 1983, this resentment led to the formation of the novel prison gang known as the Mexikanemi (Prison Offenders, 2016).
