Street Gangs of DFW
In Texas, there's an army of street gangs that operate within the state. Each street gang is a gang made up of kids, teenagers and/or young adults not to exceed 50 members; more than 50 members constitutes its own entry under "Gangs".
​
The following is a list of known street gangs in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas region in the MDU (and are not reflective, representative, nor associative of any existing or defunct gangs in the real world in any respective manner)​.
Highwaymen
Leader: Darius “Overpass” Cole
Number of Members: 33
Location / Territory: Dallas freeway corridors, major interchange belts, tollway approaches, frontage roads, truck-stop districts, large commercial parking areas, and high-speed routes connecting different parts of the Metroplex
Allies: T-Wrecks; occasional business with Tarmac Jackals
Enemies: Rail Riders; Stockyard Saints
Weapons of Choice: Handguns, shotguns, tire irons, crowbars, chains
​
Brief Description:
The Highwaymen are DFW’s premier roadway predators. Their gang culture grew around the Metroplex’s enormous highway system, where millions of vehicles and huge quantities of commercial freight move every day.
They specialize in vehicle theft, robbery, stolen cargo, opportunistic shipment interception, parking-lot crime, and rapidly moving stolen property from one part of the region to another. The Highwaymen rarely remain in one place long enough to establish traditional block-level control; the roads themselves are effectively their territory.
That mobility frequently brings them into conflict with other transportation gangs. A shipment leaving an airport or rail facility may suddenly become Highwaymen business the moment it reaches surface roads.
Rail Riders
Leader: Calvin “Switchman” Wade
Number of Members: 27
Location / Territory: Fort Worth rail yards, freight corridors, industrial spurs, switching facilities, intermodal zones, warehouses, and rail-adjacent industrial districts
Allies: Stockyard Saints
Enemies: Highwaymen; T-Wrecks; Tarmac Jackals
Weapons of Choice: Pistols, crowbars, cargo hooks, chains, heavy work tools
​
Brief Description:
The Rail Riders are Fort Worth’s freight-line specialists and one of the most disciplined theft crews in the DFW gang ecosystem.
​
Their strength comes from understanding the rail and intermodal world: freight yards, warehouse movement, switching operations, container transfers, industrial storage, and the enormous volume of goods passing through North Texas.
​
Their crimes center on stolen freight, container burglary, warehouse theft, industrial goods, and intercepting valuable cargo before it reaches surface distribution.
​
This frequently creates direct competition with the Highwaymen and Tarmac Jackals. If several gangs learn about the same valuable shipment, the Rail Riders generally want to take possession of it before anyone else gets it onto the road.
Reichsland Storm
Leader: Lukas “Stormbanner” Vholm
Number of Members: 16
Location / Territory: Scattered safehouses and meeting locations throughout Dallas/Fort Worth, particularly neglected industrial properties, warehouse outskirts, and isolated fringe locations
Allies: None; temporary opportunistic cooperation only
Enemies: Stockyard Saints; Highwaymen; broadly distrusted by most DFW gangs
Weapons of Choice: Handguns, batons, knives, chains
​
Brief Description:
Reichsland Storm is fundamentally different from the other DFW gangs.
It is a small ideological street cell connected to the broader MDU Reichsland movement rather than an organization organically rooted in Texas street culture. Its purpose is less about accumulating territory or freight than spreading Reichsland influence, provoking conflict, intimidating opponents, and creating instability that larger Reichsland interests can exploit.
Members engage in extremist propaganda, vandalism, targeted intimidation, agitation, and efforts to turn existing racial, social, or gang tensions into larger confrontations.
DFW’s freight wars offer them plenty of opportunities. When two gangs are already fighting over something valuable, Reichsland Storm may deliberately make the situation worse simply because chaos serves their larger ideological objectives.
Stockyard Saints
Leader: Ramon “Brandmark” Ortega
Number of Members: 25
Location / Territory: Fort Worth Stockyards-adjacent neighborhoods, older warehouse districts, entertainment blocks, historic commercial corridors, and nearby working-class communities
Allies: Rail Riders
Enemies: Highwaymen; T-Wrecks; Reichsland Storm
Weapons of Choice: Revolvers, knives, shotguns, chains, batons
​
Brief Description:
The Stockyard Saints are deeply rooted in Fort Worth and carry themselves as defenders of an older local identity—even though their own activities include protection rackets, theft, extortion, black-market trading, and territorial intimidation.
​
They operate around the edges of stockyard culture, older warehouse districts, bars, tourism corridors, and surrounding neighborhoods. Their influence also makes them important in DFW’s stolen-property economy because certain goods moving into Fort Worth eventually need places to be hidden, broken up, sold, or redistributed.
​
Unlike the highly mobile Highwaymen or industrial Rail Riders, the Stockyard Saints possess something equally valuable:
stable local territory. That makes them important whenever another gang wants to stash merchandise inside their sphere of influence.
T-Wrecks
Leader: Terrence “Titan” Rucker
Number of Members: 31
Location / Territory: Arlington industrial belts, Grand Prairie trucking corridors, tow yards, scrapyards, construction-access roads, repair districts, and large commercial vehicle lots
Allies: Highwaymen
Enemies: Rail Riders; Stockyard Saints; Tarmac Jackals
Weapons of Choice: Heavy pistols, sledgehammers, breaker bars, bats, heavy chains
​
Brief Description:
The T-Wrecks are DFW’s heavy-vehicle gang—wreckers, tow operators, mechanics, salvage workers, truck enthusiasts, and street criminals built around sheer mechanical muscle.
​
They specialize in stolen vehicles, illicit towing, heavy-equipment theft, vehicle stripping, salvage operations, recovery scams, and physically relocating valuable vehicles or machinery that other gangs may lack the equipment to handle.
​
That gives the T-Wrecks a unique position in DFW’s criminal economy.
​
The Highwaymen may intercept something.
The Rail Riders may find it first.
The Tarmac Jackals may know when it arrives.
​
But if somebody needs a large vehicle, trailer, or heavy piece of equipment physically moved, the T-Wrecks are often the crew capable of doing it. That frequently makes them allies one day and competitors the next.
Tarmac Jackals
Leader: Ariana “Groundcrew” Vega
Number of Members: 24
Location / Territory: DFW Airport-adjacent logistics corridors, cargo warehouses, airport-service industrial areas, parking and rental-car districts, hotel corridors, freight-forwarding zones, and surface routes linking aviation cargo with the wider Metroplex
Allies: Highwaymen when profitable
Enemies: Rail Riders; T-Wrecks
Weapons of Choice: Compact pistols, collapsible batons, utility knives, heavy flashlights, work tools
​
Brief Description:
The Tarmac Jackals are DFW’s aviation-economy predators.
They do not control the airport itself. Instead, they operate throughout the enormous commercial ecosystem surrounding it: freight warehouses, service districts, vehicle facilities, cargo-transfer businesses, rental operations, hotels, commercial parking zones, and roads where aviation traffic transitions into ordinary surface transportation.
Their specialty is recognizing when valuable goods become vulnerable during that transition.
They target high-value freight, electronics, luxury merchandise, vehicles, commercial equipment, and other profitable property connected to the airport economy. Their members also have strong knowledge of ground-support industries, warehouse work, freight forwarding, vehicle movement, and airport-adjacent businesses.
This places them directly inside DFW’s broader gang competition.
Once valuable property leaves the aviation environment, the Highwaymen may want it.
If it transfers toward rail, the Rail Riders become interested.
If heavy vehicles are involved, the T-Wrecks may appear.
That makes the Jackals unusually alert to who else knows about a potential score.
