TEXAS RANGERS GET 1ST 2 WOMEN OFFICERS

The first two women promoted to become Texas Rangers said hard work made their dream of joining the elite police force come true.

Marrie Reynolds Garcia, 39, of San Antonio, and Cheryl Campbell Steadman, 32, of Houston were among nine Texas Department of Public Safety officers promoted to Texas Rangers sergeants.

The Texas Rangers are an elite state force dating back 170 years. Now numbering 105 officers, it investigates major crimes and tracks fugitives.
