Eastland Texas

I called a Texas Ranger yesterday to try and report on a person who is a registered Sex Offender. I learned that a jail offense in one jurisdiction is not necessary a jail offense in another jurisdiction. What I wanted was to do was report on this person outside of Eastland County Texas. I was told by a retired law Enforcement officer that Eastland is its own universe.
So I figured Texas Ranger would be outside of Eastland, NOT HIS JOB was told. Tried to get in touch with a state trooper could not get in touch with them just again handed off. So there is no number to report a crime to the State of Texas IF you feel a county Law Enforcement is not straight correct. So the people feel like slaves because of this patch work of you are arrested for this here but not there.
In North Carolina there is the State Bureau of Investigation that the people can call and report there localities to for relief. So in Texas who do you call if say you think your county or city or sheriff is not playing by the rules! Who do you call if say someone tells you they were stopped by Law enforcement and there license is revoked but they are allowed to drive off with a warning ticket! This person is a registered sex offender who at the time you called Mr Texas ranger has been filed on by Eastland County for not reporting according to his sex offender rules!
What must he do to get Law enforcement either in Eastland County or Texas to put him out of circulation? It is not Mr Texas Ranger's job. Eastland Texas pulled him over for a traffic violation and let him drive off with a REVOKED DRIVERS LICENSE. Then Eastland filed on him for failure to properly report where he lives and did not arrest him!

Needless to say I have an awful opinion of Texas Law enforcement. 1st there should be a state wide office to report such doings. 2nd if you carry a badge it should be your job to look up the name of a criminal on record like sex offender and make sure someone with a badge contacts him or her. 3rd if a place like Eastland which is it's own legal universe exist and it apparently does. There should be constant state level oversight into the workings of all Law enforcement in the county!
