I have no links to organized crime. Yikes.
Here is the article, from Texasborderbusiness.com. Unfortunately no part of it will copy or paste, but there are some very odd photos of Garcia Cabeza de Vaca and his cronies:

This situation could get even stranger, right? Wow.
Thanks for the information.
