Gangs distributing drugs in some areas of southern Texas are now answering to the Gulf Cartel, according to a local sheriff.
Concretely, Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd said during a hearing before the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, according to Border Report. He added that the presence of cartels "changed how domestic organizations function," noting they have become "mere contractors and subcontractors" and are now "beholden to act as commanded by their masters."
