One of the things I enjoy when listening to TOTTR is recognizing a town in the story. Burton is located west of Brenham on Highway 290 heading for Austin. In 1941 it was still a major area for cotton and dairy farms, so it wasn't a suprise the family in the story had bought a farm there. Still beautiful green quiet countryside, I have old friends who live on a dairy farm west of Burton, there was a time that their family furnished milk for Blue Bell Ice Cream. Burton is no longer the bustling community it was back then, the Cotton has moved to Panhandle and further south, banks are all closed but it's still a friendly little place, they hold an annual Cotton Gin Festival and in the little cafe in town there's great food and music every Friday and Saturday night. My buddy plays fiddle and guitar there on occasion. Thanks again, always like to drop by for another story from the files of the Texas Rangers
As heard on Sundays at 6pm(et). This was NBC's Sunday evening schedule at the time {all times Eastern}: 6:00 TALES OF THE TEXAS RANGERS 6:30 THE BIG SHOW 8:00 THE PHIL HARRIS-ALICE FAYE SHOW 8:30 THEATRE GUILD ON THE AIR 9:30 THE $64 QUESTION (with Jack Paar) 10:00 TIN PAN VALLEY {26:41- pre-empted for NBC News special on the 1952 New Hampshire presidential primary} 10:30 EILEEN CHRISTY & COMPANY

nice Brian,nice.😊
T of Tex R: absolutely great radio series !
Thx for posting on TH-cam
Great show. Often called the "Western Dragnet " because of the narrative style and excellent production values.
Unlike "DRAGNET", "TALES OF THE TEXAS RANGERS" couldn't find a sponsor after the 1950 Wheaties summer series- and NBC was forced to cancel it in 1952.

I actually remember back to these times when there were clear boundaries between right and wrong. Miss those days.
Love these
As the youngsters would say, "this slaps"
