NORTH TEXAS HIDTA
 

2005 ANNUAL REPORT
 

I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
 

Illegal drugs now affect virtually every component of our society. The High Intensity 

Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Program is designed to significantly disrupt the market for 

these illicit activities. Every time illegal drugs and associated drug assets are seized, the regional 

marketplace for illegal drugs suffers a setback. By disturbing the drug supply chain, particularly 

at the multi-state or international level; law enforcement impacts the drug flow before it ever 

reaches the individual user, but law enforcement activities also have a cost. A key question 

emerges, therefore, as to how efficie ntly and effectively are public dollars being spent on these 

HIDTA objectives. During this reporting period, the North Texas HIDTA initiatives disrupted 

the market for illegal drugs by meeting or exceeding most of their performance targets for the 

year, and they did so in a safe and cost effective manner. 

The North Texas HIDTA is a national transshipment and distribution region for drugs 

arriving from Mexico and destined for northern Texas and Oklahoma as well as other areas 

within the United States. Drug traffickers use the North Texas HIDTA region for the transport, 

storage and distribution of illicit drugs, exploiting its transportation infrastructure to facilitate the 

movement of drugs. The state of Oklahoma is an integral part of this drug trafficking network. 

• Like every HIDTA in the country, the North Texas HIDTA is governed by an Executive 

Board of federal, state and local law enforcement executives that administer both policy and the 

annual budget based upon the national program guidance and the regional needs as identified in 

the North Texas HIDTA threat assessment. The threat assessment when used with the HIDTAs 

Performance Management Process (PMP) provides an effective means of ensuring that funds are 

being allocated to address the threat at the Drug Trafficking Organization (DTO) level to include 

targeting Consolidated Priority Targets (CPOT) and Regional Priority Targets (RPOT). 

• During 2005, several North Texas HIDTA investigations resulted in a large number of 

arrests, indictments, and seizures. These seizures hit drug trafficking organizations (DTOs) hard, 

affecting their profitability, and frequently their ultimate survival. North Texas HIDTA has 

targeted local, multi-state and international trafficking organizations to assure the full scope of 

illicit drug activity in North Texas and strategic areas of Oklahoma is addressed. The following 

highlights illustrate this success: 

• To maximize results, the North Texas HIDTA facilitates cooperation and joint efforts 

between different law enforcement organizations. There were over 40 federal, state and local law 

enforcement agencies participating in the North Texas HIDTA regional law enforcement 

initiatives with over 150 participants. With support from the North Texas HIDTA Regional 

Intelligence Support Center (RISC), the Oklahoma Intelligence Center (OIC) and the Texas 

Narcotic Information System (TNIS), regional initiatives continue to make significant progress 

in identifying, investigating and dismantling or disrupting the area’s most dangerous and prolific 

DTOs, drug dealers, money launderers, weapons traffickers, and violent criminals. 

1
 
• Illicit drugs are extremely profitable for the illegal organizations that traffic them. 

Removing those profits hits home where it counts. During CY 2005, over $13.2 million dollars 

in drugs were seized and almost $9.9 million dollars in drug assets for a total of over $23 

million dollars in illicit drug profits were permanently eliminated from the balance sheets of 

regional DTOs. Its impact on an illegal DTO represents a sizeable reduction in illicit drug 

availability. 

• Fighting the battle against illicit drug trafficking costs money. One can take great 

comfort; however, from the fact that every North Texas HIDTA budget dollar spent on law 

enforcement and investigative support activities, contributed to removing $6.00 in illicit drugs 

from the market and seizing $5.00 of drug-related assets. Thus, North Texas HIDTA initiatives 

achieved a remarkable combined Return-on-Investment (ROI) of $11.00 for every $1.00 of 

North Texas HIDTA funds invested. 

• HIDTAs exist to disrupt and dismantle DTOs. Beginning in 2005 North Texas HIDTA 

had identified 43 DTOs and identified another 23 for a total of 66. Of those 66 DTOs targeted, 

North Texas HIDTA initiatives disrupted 16 DTOs and dismantled 13. This means 

approximately 44% of those targeted DTOs were disrupted or totally dismantled during 2005. 

• The North Texas HIDTA strives to investigate larger, more complex DTOs where the 

greatest positive impact can be achieved. Disrupting or dismantling a large complex DTO 

generally takes longer than stopping a street level operation, but doing so can substantially 

reduce the illicit drug marketplace. As illustrated by the statistical measures contained 

throughout this Annual Report, during CY 2005, the North Texas HIDTA initiatives targeted 

more complex cases involving larger DTOs. More specifically, it handled 10 OCDETF cases of 

which 3 involved multi-state DTOs and 6 were international in scope. 

• Listed below are a few examples of several very successful investigations which took 

place during 2005. 

� In 2005, the Eastern Drug Squad completed a Title III wiretap investigation that resulted 

in the arrest of 12 subjects that were involved in a major international polydrug 

trafficking organization operating out of Dallas, Texas. This DTO trafficked in 

methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana. The DTO moved millions of dollars 

in drug proceeds each month back across the border to Mexico. During the course of this 

investigation over $550,000 in assets were seized. 

� In 2005, the East Texas Violent Crime Squad completed the third and final phase of an 

investigation that targeted a Mexican drug trafficking organization and two violent 

criminal street gangs tha t distributed crack cocaine, marijuana, and firearms. These 

organizations were also responsible for gang violence including drive-by-shootings, drug 

related homicides, commercial armed robberies, carjackings, kidnapping, and extortion. 

To date over 135 defendants have been arrested and 60 subjects have agreed to plead 

guilty. 

� In 2005, the Northern Drug Squad completed a Title III wiretap investigation into a large 

Mexican drug trafficking organization. A total of 57 subjects were indicted in this 

investigation. Seizures in this investigation included 100 kilos of cocaine, $1.5 million in 

cash, 17 vehicles and 42 pieces of real property. The investigation also identified 

2
 
 

significant DTO's in Memphis, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, as well as Little Rock, 

Arkansas, El Paso/Eagle Pass, Texas, Corpus Christi and San Antonio. 

� The Violent Crime Squad completed an investigation into the Texas Syndicate 

Organization (TS) with the indictment of an additional 12 defendants. A total of 21 

members of the TS Organization have been arrested and are pending judicial action. In 

addition, the U.S. Attorney is preparing a Racketeer Influenced and Corruption 

Organization (RICO) indictment for the main members of the TS Organization. 

• The North Texas HIDTA’s success is measured in part by its ability to facilitate greater 

efficiency, effectiveness and cooperation among and between external participating agencies at 

the local, state and federal level, thus yielding tangible, measurable results. Collocation of 

different law enforcement agencies to facilitate and enhance resource sharing is a key strategy. 

The extent of information sharing and inter-agency cooperation fostered by the North Texas 

HIDTA approach proves that separate law initiatives are working together effectively and 

efficiently. 

• The North Texas HIDTA continues to play a leading role in assisting the law 

enforcement and investigative support initiatives with their information sharing and training 

needs. Information sharing and training support form the “glue” that binds these initiatives 

together by promoting and facilitating greater efficiency and effectiveness. 

II. INTRODUCTION 

This Annual Report documents the activities of the North Texas HIDTA during the 2005 

calendar year. To fully appreciate the North Texas HIDTA’s achievements, it is important to 

understand how each HIDTA is structured, and why it exists. The Director of the Office of 

National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) designates regions with critical drug trafficking 

problems adversely impacting the United States as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas 

(HIDTAs). By design, HIDTA offices are located in these areas. Thus, the national HIDTA 

program, composed of 28 individual HIDTAs spread throughout the nation, is uniquely situated 

to counteract this illicit activity. HIDTAs play a significant role in addressing real world drug 

and drug-related problems, and offer real world solutions. The North Texas HIDTA is no 

exception. The North Texas HIDTA has fostered cooperative and effective working relationships 

with over 40 federal, state and local agencies in its effort to disrupt or dismantle DTOs. These 

working relationships are embodied in the North Texas HIDTA initiatives. 

North Texas HIDTA law enforcement initiatives have established priorities that focus on 

the disruption and dismantlement of DTOs, especially those involved with drug-related violent 

crime, as well as targeting those DTOs that have the greatest adverse impact on the quality of life 

in the regional neighborhoods and communities. A concentration on the illegal use of firearms is 

another substantial commitment by all investigative agencies in the North Texas HIDTA and 

particularly within the Violent Crime Squad and the East Texas Violent Crime Squad. There is a 

determined effort to counter drug movement into and through the region, and to arrest those who 

conceal the proceeds from illegal drug sales within the region. These priorities are supported by a 

strong commitment from federal and state prosecutors to provide timely and sound legal advice 

and prosecution when deemed appropriate. 

3
 
To achieve meaningful results, each HIDTA needs clear goals (the HIDTA Program 

Goals); recognition of the challenges faced (a Threat Assessment); a plan to get there (a Strategy 

with quantifiable performance targets); and a way to document achievements (an Annual 

Report). The overall HIDTA mission is embodied by the National Program Mission Statement: 

National HIDTA Program 

Mission Statement
 

The mission of the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program is to disrupt the 

market for illegal drugs in the United States by assisting federal, state, and local law 

enforcement entities participating in the HIDTA program to dismantle and disrupt drug 

trafficking organizations, with particular emphasis on drug trafficking regions that have 

harmful effects on other parts of the United States. 

The North Texas HIDTA’s success is measured in part by its ability to facilitate greater 

efficiency, effectiveness and cooperation among and between external participating agencies at 

the local, state and federal level, thus yielding tangible, measurable results. Collocation of 

different law enforcement agencies to facilitate and enhance resource sharing is a key strategy. 

The extent of information sharing and inter-agency cooperation fostered by the North Texas 

HIDTA approach proves that separate law initiatives are working together effectively and 

efficiently. 

During the previous calendar year, The Executive Board members and the North Texas 

HIDTA Director worked closely with law enforcement and local HIDTA staff to develop a 

vision for the future, which clearly reflects what outcomes HIDTA initiatives seek to achieve. A 

formal Vision Statement was approved in 2006 to demonstrate this. 

The North Texas HIDTA recognizes that without a clear mission and vision statement, 

the law enforcement, intelligence and prosecution communities cannot work toward any mutual 

objectives, and success cannot be quantified or measured. The North Texas HIDTA fully 

embraces the following missio n and vision in conjunction with the national program objectives. 

North Texas HIDTA Vision Statement 

To create communities in the North Texas HIDTA region that are free from the dangers of 

illicit drugs. This will be accomplished through the commitment to reduce availability via 

supporting proactive law enforcement, aggressive prosecution and effective demand reduction 

strategies."

NORTH TEXAS HIDTA
 

Mission Statement
 

The mission of the North Texas HIDTA is to reduce the availability of illicit 

drugs by creating intelligence driven task forces aimed at targeting, disrupting and 

dismantling drug trafficking / money laundering organizations and reduce drug 

related violence impacting this region and other areas of the country. 

Reporting Period: This Annual Report covers the reporting period January 1, 2005 to December 

31, 2005. 

Budget Allocation: During this reporting period, ONDCP allocated a $3,072,000 budget for 

North Texas HIDTA operations, a relatively small budget considering the geographic size an 

population of the area served and the drug threat that exists in the region. This includes 

$2,822,000 in the baseline budget and $250,000 in supplemental funds for the Oklahoma 

counties. (These supplemental awards included $150,000 for an Accelerated Domestic Market 

Disruption Initiative and $100,000 in a Domestic Highway Interdiction Project, both for 

Oklahoma City Police Department.) 

Based on the North Texas HIDTAs threat assessment, the region faces significant drug 

threats on many levels. The North Texas HIDTA strives to minimize any expenditure that does 

not directly address achieving their primary objectives. Accordingly, the North Texas HIDTA 

allocates over 68% of its allocation directly to its enforcement initiatives and their intelligence 

support costs. (The cost of the facility that allows for the collocation of the majority of the North 

Texas HIDTA initiatives in Irving, Texas, is not included in the operational initiative budgets). 

Throughout this Annual Report, the North Texas HIDTA is pleased to report significant success 

in achieving its mission, and demonstrating positive trends for the future. We believe HIDTA 

dollars are yielding the desired effects they were intended for. 

Geographic Area of Responsibility: 

5
 
 

 

 

• Texas Counties: 

Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Henderson, Hood, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Lubbock, 

Navarro, Parker, Rockwall, Smith, and Tarrant County 

• Oklahoma Counties:

 Cleveland, Comanche, Muskogee, Oklahoma, Sequoyah, and Tulsa County 

Dallas/Fort Worth area is the ninth largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the 

nation, with more than 5.2 million residents. It is the third fastest growing among the large 

MSAs in the country, and is predicted to become the fourth largest MSA by the year 2010. The 

6 county Oklahoma region contains over 60% of the Oklahoma population of 3.45 million, 

primarily in Oklahoma City (1,046,283) and Tulsa (786,117). The North Texas HIDTA is a 21 

county area consisting of 15 counties in Texas and 6 counties in Oklahoma. The North Texas 

HIDTA region is a primary market of choice for major DTOs. Numerous interstate highways 

and roadways that support a high volume of traffic transect Oklahoma as well as Texas. 

Oklahoma’s unique geographical location contributes to its role as a major transshipment of 

illicit drugs. The Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is the third busiest in the world, which 

further facilitates the movement of illicit drugs through the North Texas HIDTA region. This 

region is also noted as a primary banking and financial center, which makes it an attractive area 

for drug money laundering. Although the number of Money Laundering Organizations (MLOs) 

is fairly low, most of this type of activity is investigated and enforced within the drug 

enforcement initiatives involving DTOs with money laundering involvement. The welldeveloped infrastructure of commercial enterprise, transportation network, and international 

finance within the Dallas MSA makes this area attractive to legitimate businesses, as well as 

illegal activity. 

III. NATIONAL HIDTA GOALS 

Every HIDTA has adopted two specific goals to be achieved in meeting the drug 

challenge. These two national goals guide all HIDTA initiatives and activities throughout the 

United States. These national HIDTA program goals, plus concise summaries of the North Texas 

HIDTA Threat Assessment and Strategy for Budget Year 2005 are presented in the following 

sections. The North Texas HIDTA Strategy was designed to meet local drug threats according to 

its individual needs, in conjunction with the national objectives: 

NATIONAL HIDTA GOALS 

Goal 1: Disrupt the market for illegal drugs by dismantling or 

disrupting drug trafficking and/or money laundering 

organizations; and 

Goal 2: Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of HIDTA 

initiatives. 

6
 
The HIDTA Goals represent clear guidelines for the North Texas HIDTA initiatives. 

They also provide the foundation upon which performance pla nning and outcome measurements 

are based. The North Texas HIDTA budget submissions will determine how each North Texas 

HIDTA initiative presents programmatic and fiscal justifications that are based on the Threat 

Assessment; states how the initiative’s funding request directly address area threats; sets realistic 

performance measures; and eventually must provide specific information on how the funding has 

allowed the North Texas HIDTA to meet its desired outcomes. North Texas HIDTA initiatives 

are measured against clear national guidelines governing all HIDTA activities and expenditures. 

The North Texas HIDTA Executive Board is significantly involved in all aspects of the 

North Texas HIDTA Intelligence and Investigation activities. The ONDCP On-Site Review was 

conducted April 24-28, 2006 and gave an “OBSERVATION” which stated: 

I. Program Oversight 

Observation: The review team noted an exceptional program 

utilized by the North Texas HIDTA to professionally address the 

required evaluation/assessment of each initiative from year to year. 

The application of the Initiative Review Sub-Committee’s efforts 

in this area is performed bi-annually and provides a comprehensive 

look at determining the performance of each initiative in the North 

Texas HIDTA. 

The Executive Board monthly meetings provide a forum to share important trends in drug 

trafficking information throughout the region, identification of DTOs, and major investigation 

updates. The Board also addresses important administrative issues in its oversight capacity. 

During 2005 the Executive Board established an Intelligence Subcommittee that supports North 

Texas HIDTA initiatives and its participating agencies on a wide variety of intelligence issues, 

training, computer technology and other matters. The North Texas HIDTA’s success is measured 

by results, and each initiative is fully accountable for its success or failure in meeting its 

objectives. 

IV. SUMMARY OF THREAT ASSESSMENT FOR BUDGET YEAR 2005 

To maximize operational effectiveness, and to ensure that our citizens get the greatest 

return for their tax dollars, the North Texas HIDTA renews its strategic plan each year with 

realistic resource requests based on its previous Threat Assessment. The following summary for 

2005 is presented below. 

Cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana all pose serious drug threats to the 

North Texas HIDTA region. The clandestine productio n of methamphetamine has significantly 

declined since pseudoephedrine control legislation was adopted first in Oklahoma and later in 

Texas and has forced lab operators to obtain precursors from other states or Canada. The 

continuing demand for this drug is primarily satiated by traffickers smuggling and distributing 

the substance from Mexico. Both powdered and crack cocaine remain readily available and 

continue among the primary drug threats in the region. Mexican black tar and Mexican brown 

heroin are a serious and continuing threat to the North Texas HIDTA. Domestic and Mexican 

marijuana are abundant, with cannabis being the most commonly abused drug throughout the 

7
 
 

North Texas HIDTA region. “Club drugs,” or “predatory drugs,” such as MDMA, PCP, and 

LSD are also encountered and are primarily abused by teenagers and young adults. 

DTOs involved in the transportation and distribution of illicit drugs pose a serious threat 

to the North Texas HIDTA region. Although the majority of these are Mexican DTOs, 

traffickers from other countries are involved in organized activity as well. Familial ties and long 

–standing relationships often enhance the ability of these organizations to establish and maintain 

trafficking corridors and distribution sites throughout our multi-state region. Collectively, these 

DTOs supply the demand for methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, heroin and other drugs. 

Geographically, the HIDTA region serves as a focal point for the transshipment of illicit drugs to 

consumers throughout the United States, as well a lucrative market for local distribution. The 

Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, with over 5.2 million people, is one of the largest metropolitan 

areas in the United States and one of the most ethnically diverse regions in the nation. 

International air and land transportation corridors facilitate the movement of illicit drugs 

into and through the North Texas HIDTA region. Conversely, drug proceeds are transported out 

of the region to sources beyond the border via vehicle concealment and wire remitters. Although 

perhaps less utilized since September 11, 2001, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is 

one of the busiest in the world and continues to afford traffickers a major transshipment facility 

for international drug and money movement as well as for couriers transporting small shipments 

to other cities throughout the United States. 

Drug trafficking groups primarily transport drugs into and through northern Texas and 

Oklahoma using Interstates 20, 30, 35 and 45. Interstates 35 and 40 further provide north/south 

and east/west passage through Oklahoma. This efficient highway network effectively provides 

ready access to and from the Texas/Mexico border and into and through the North Texas HIDTA 

Region. Additionally, these routes provide direct nationwide access to destinations on the East 

and West Coasts as well as markets in the Midwest. More specifically, Interstate 30 extends 

northeast through Arkansas and provides easy access to the Mid Atlantic States and the 

Northeast. Interstates 20 and 45 pass through the Gulf States to the Southeast region. Interstate 

35 extends from the international border at Laredo, Texas, northward through Oklahoma to cities 

throughout the Midwest. Interstate 40 connects Oklahoma to the East and West coasts, and 

Interstate 44 also provides connectivity to Oklahoma’s major cities and other states. 

V. HIDTA STRATEGY SUMMARY 

A summary of the North Texas HIDTA Strategy is listed below. Collocation of federal, 

state and local law enforcement agencies to facilitate and enhance resource sharing is a key 

strategy. 

The North Texas HIDTA approach is to collocate law enforcement personnel in multijurisdictional initiatives in order to promote enhanced information and resource sharing. Through 

collocation, interagency cooperation, and consolidation of strategic and tactical information, the 

North Texas HIDTA fosters a comprehensive response to combating illicit drug activity by 

bringing together all available law enforcement resources in a cohesive strategy to address the 

problem. The North Texas HIDTA law enforcement initiatives focus on DTOs, money 

laundering groups, violent drug offenders, open-air drug markets, firearms trafficking and 

domestic drug movement. Emerging narco-terrorism trends are also considered. 

8
 
 

The North Texas HIDTA law enforcement initiatives are directed through the respective 

lead agencies’ management policies and are focused on the prevalent drug threats as identified in 

the North Texas HIDTA Threat Assessment. These initiatives actively pursue the outcomes 

sought by HIDTA Goal 1. All North Texas HIDTA sites enter data into the North Texas HIDTA 

computer system, thereby facilitating information sharing, deconfliction, enhanced officer safety, 

and an ability to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort during investigations where there may 

be common elements or subjects. In 2005, law enforcement agencies within the region used 

North Texas HIDTA resources to deconflict 2903 critical events and 4414 targets. Additionally, 

the NT HIDTA provided intelligence support services to 99 separate drug investigations. 

Enhanced communication, collaboration and information sharing are key law 

enforcement components designed to promote maximum efficiency and effectiveness as 

prescribed by HIDTA Goal 2. Logically, Goal 1 and Goal 2 are closely intertwined, with Goal 2 

providing the integration support services that enhance the ability for all initiatives to meet their 

goals. 

In an increasingly competitive policy and budget environment, it is critical for the North 

Texas HIDTA to develop strategies and resource requests that will produce positive regional 

outcomes consistent with the two HIDTA goals. The North Texas HIDTA funded 8 initiatives in 

CY 2005 distributed as follows: 

• 1 Management and Coordination 

• 3 Intelligence Centers (RISC, OIC, TNIS) 

• 3 Enforcement Initiatives, one with six enforcement squad components 

• 1 Training Initiative 

VI. HIDTA PERFORMANCE MEASURES 

In an effort to demonstrate performance and effectiveness, HIDTAs across the country 

instituted new procedures during 2004 and 2005 aimed at ensuring that HIDTA sponsored 

initiatives are achieving the results desired by the National HIDTA Program and their Executive 

Boards. The Performance Management Process (PMP) introduced a new capability to quantify 

and track HIDTA targets and monitor HIDTA results. With application of the PMP, the North 

Texas HIDTA Annual Report continues to function as a report card; a measure of HIDTA 

efficiency and effectiveness; a source for comparison with previous year efforts; and most 

importantly, a guide for future action. The series of tables contained in this annual report present 

specific outputs and efficiency measures of the North Texas HIDTA. These measurable results 

reflect a continuing increase in efficiency and effectiveness as demonstrated by a higher ROI, 

lowered training costs and increased cooperation through deconfliction.

A. Performance Measures for Goal 1 

Table 1 – DTOs Disrupted or Dismantled, 2005 

Table 2 - Percentage of DTOs Disrupted or Dismantled by Scope, 2005 

Disrupting or dismantling a large complex DTO generally takes longer than stopping a street 

level operation, but doing so can substantially reduce the illicit drug marketplace. It should be 

noted that although the percentage of targeted DTOs that were dismantled or disrupted are down 

from 2004, the number of DTOs targeted is up from 42 to 66 and the total number of DTOs 

dismantled or disrupted is up from 23 to 29. A few examples of several very successful 

investigations which took place in 2005 are listed in the Executive Summary. 

Table 3 - Percentage of MLOs Disrupted or Dismantled by Scope , 2005 

Note: The North Texas HIDTA does not have a specific money laundering initiative. Instead, 

most of this type of activity is investigated and enforced within the drug enforcement initiatives. 

10
 
 

 

During 2005 it should be noted that Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents and TFOs were 

reassigned back to the North Texas HIDTA which has resulted in an increased number of MLOs 

being investigated that will be reflected in the 2006 Annual Report. 

Table 4 - Operational Scope of All DTO Cases Initiated, 2005 

Tables 1 through 4 reflect the impact North Texas HIDTA initiatives had on DTOs, not 

only within the North Texas HIDTA region itself, but also nationally and internationally. At the 

beginning of each year, North Texas HIDTA initiatives are hard at work investigating DTOs that 

have been previously identified, many of which will also have been specifically targeted for 

disruption or total dismantlement. Table 1 shows that during 2005, North Texas HIDTA 

initiatives identified 23 additional DTOs and targeted 66 for either disruption or dismantlement. 

Illicit drug trafficking occurs on several different levels ranging from the small local 

street dealers to the multi-state organizations, and ultimately to the sophisticated international 

drug cartels. Traditionally, law enforcement has had its greatest successes at the street dealer 

level. These “small-time” operators were less sophisticated than the larger, better-financed DTOs 

and, consequently, presented easier targets. Unfortunately, disrupting or dismantling the open air 

market dealers had little lasting effect on stopping illegal drugs. More emphasis needed to be 

placed on larger DTOs where a disruption or dismantlement would have greater impact on the 

marketplace. The HIDTA Program stresses attacking the problem at the upper levels. Table 2 

explains North Texas HIDTAs success in terms of the operational scope of the DTOs identified 

and targeted in calendar year 2005. Of the 66 DTOs identified, 41 operated beyond the North 

Texas HIDTA region in multiple states, or were involved in international operations. Of these 

targeted major operations, 10 were disrupted and 6 were totally dismantled. Thus, 11 of the 27 

targeted international DTOs were either dismantled or disrupted. While this was short of the 

targeted number, it still reflects the North Texas HIDTA commitment to identify, target and 

dismantle or disrupt large-scale drug operations. 

Table 2 also demonstrates the North Texas HIDTA’s commitment to reduce retail drug 

sales by targeting 25 local DTOs. This attention to local DTOs resulted in 6 disruptions and 7 

dismantled organizations. Attacking street level traffickers in conjunction with the larger DTO 

targets has a ripple effect in the drug supply chain. Taking off a small dealer, even though the 

drug quantity seized may be small, impacts the ability of international and multi-state DTOs to 

11
 
 

get their drugs into the hands of drug users, thus helping to reduce the efficiency and 

effectiveness of this black market industry. By making it more difficult and time consuming for 

drug buyers to score a local connection, thus making it more difficult for street level dealers to 

sell their drugs, the local drug markets are not able to move the same volume of drugs with the 

ease they experienced in prior years. 

The North Texas HIDTA stresses the importance of developing cases having the potential 

to qualify for OCDETF designation. Table 4 shows that of the 23 cases opened during 2005, 10 

received OCDETF designation or 43%. This is another strong indication that the North Texas 

HIDTA disrupted the market place for drugs by focusing on those DTOs operating at the multistate and international levels of operation. Tables 1 through 4 clearly reflect the nature of the 

North Texas HIDTAs enforcement efforts and demonstrate its effectiveness in achieving its 

targeted outcomes. 

Table 5 - Drugs Removed from the Marketplace, 2005 

SOURCE: "Special Issue: Illicit Drug Prices January 2004-June 2004." Narcotics Digest Weekly, Vol. 3, 

No. 29, July 20, 2004. Where wholesale values are not available in this source, mid-level values were 

used from the same tables. Since the NDIC report covers the primary abused drugs, prices for valium and 

pseudoephedrine are local estimates by the reporting initiative. 

Seizing drugs from a DTO is like eliminating inventories from a corporate sales 

department, leaving it with nothing to market. During CY 2005, the North Texas HIDTA had a 

12
 
 

 

 

significant impact on the region’s drug trade through its drug seizures. Table 5 lists the wholesale 

values of the respective drugs seized, thus giving a highly accurate and true depiction of the 

economic impact of removing these drugs from the marketplace. In this fashion, achieving the 

North Texas HIDTA goals is more clearly shown in terms of real dollar outcomes. 

Table 6 - Return on Investment (ROI) for Drugs Removed from the Marketplace by Law 

Enforcement Initiatives, 2005 

Note: The budget amount includes the amount for all enforcement and intelligence initiatives, including 

discretionary funding received. (The cost of the facility that allows for the collocation of the majority of 

the North Texas HIDTA initiatives in Irving, Texas, is not included in the operational initiative budgets). 

Table 7 - Return on Investment (ROI) for Assets Removed from the Marketplace by Law 

Enforcement Initiatives, 2005 

North Texas HIDTA initiatives seized almost $9.9 million in drug assets during CY 

2005, thereby reducing availability and subsequent abuse. This yields a return on investment 

(ROI) of $5.00 for every $1.00 of HIDTA funding invested in North Texas HIDTA law 

enforcement and intelligence initiatives. It is recognized that additional law enforcement dollars 

from agencies outside HIDTA for such expenses as officer salaries, police overhead and so forth 

also contribute to drug seizures. Table 7 does not attempt to calibrate such outside expenses, but 

is focused directly on what HIDTA spends compared to the profits removed from the illicit 

market place. 

13
 
 

 

 

 

Table 8 - Total Return on Investment (ROI) for Drugs and Assets Removed from the 

Marketplace by Law Enforcement Initiatives, 2005 

(Note: In 2004 the drug and drug assets seized yielded a $5 ROI for the North Texas HIDTA. It should 

also be noted that although discretionary funding received by the Oklahoma regions was factored into last 

year’s budget total, drug and drug assets seizures from the Accelerated Domestic Market Disruption and 

the Domestic Highway Interdiction Project Initiatives were not included, but have been included in 2005.) 

Just like a business corporation, you cripple a DTO by reducing its bottom line profits. 

Tables 6, 7 and 8 demonstrate the efficiency of the North Texas HIDTA insofar as removing 

illicit drugs and drug profits from the DTOs. 

In all, the North Texas HIDTA permanently removed over $13.2 million in illicit drugs 

and almost $9.9 million in drug assets from the marketplace. When examined in budget terms, 

these results yield a ROI of over $11.00 for every $1.00 of HIDTA funding invested in North 

Texas HIDTA law enforcement and intelligence initiatives. Based upon available funding, the 

North Texas HIDTA continues to have success in crippling these DTOs in bottom line profits. 

Table 9 - Prosecution Initiative Cost per Investigation, 2005 

The North Texas HIDTA currently does not have a Prosecution Initiative. The North 

Texas HIDTA initiatives are, however, actively working with federal and state prosecutors in 

developing and prosecuting cases.

Table 10 - Value of Clandestine Methamphetamine Labs Dismantled by Size

 Table 11 - Clandestine Laboratory Activities, 2005 

Methamphetamine abuse is an escalating drug problem in many HIDTAs across the 

country, and the North Texas HIDTA region is no exception. Using the requisite chemicals and 

other precursor equipment, almost anyone foolish enough to ignore the dangers associated with 

methamphetamine production, coupled with the risk of arrest, can open a methamphetamine lab 

and start production. Fortunately, North Texas HIDTA initiatives continue to make it difficult for 

potential methamphetamine producers to acquire the necessary precursor materials, and set up 

15
 
 

the labs required to achieve their illegal objectives. Listed below is an excellent example of this 

type of investigation. 

In 2004 the Northern Drug squad received an Outstanding Cooperative Effort Award at 

the National HIDTA Conference for “Operation White Mercury.” A Walgreen’s pharmacy 

surveillance video involved in the investigation revealed an associate of the original suspect 

purchasing two shopping carts of pseudoephedrine tablets. The purchase took almost two hours 

to check out due to the packaging and sales restrictions. Civil action was taken against 

Walgreen’s by the United States Attorney’s Office, Eastern District of Texas, and an agreement 

was made in which Walgreen’s agreed to pay the U.S. Government over $1.3 million dollars. 

Additionally, Walgreen’s has agreed to make several significant changes in the way 

pseudoephedrine products are handled and sold nationwide. 

Although methamphetamine is a major problem in The North Texas HIDTA region, the 

clandestine production of methamphetamine has significantly declined since pseudoephedrine 

control legislation was adopted first in Oklahoma and later in Texas and has forced lab operators 

to obtain precursors from other states or Canada. The North Texas HIDTA does not have any 

initiatives that exclusively target clandestine labs. The initiatives more specifically target the 

large quantities of this drug being sold or trafficked through the area, keeping with the mission of 

targeting DTOs. As a result, regional clandestine labs are mainly targeted by local law 

enforcement and area task forces. Statistics were not captured on precursor chemicals, 

dumpsites, or glassware during 2005. 

Performance Measures for Goal 2 

Table 12 – NORTH TEXAS HIDTA Training Efficiency by Year and Type of Training 

Note: These numbers do not include training statistics for the statewide Texas Narcotic Intelligence 

System (TNIS) that receives a portion of the North Texas HIDTA budget. 

In 2005, the North Texas HIDTA increased training dramatically. As the chart illustrates, 

we conducted training in every area and included HIDTA assigned personnel, HIDTA member 

agencies and all area law enforcement departments in our efforts. To date this has been our most 

16
 
 

 

 

successful training effort by providing 876 students with 8506 course hours. This training, 

which cost North Texas HIDTA just under $6 per classroom hour, was provided free of charge to 

North Texas HIDTA assigned and participating agency investigators. These training courses 

would not have been available without North Texas HIDTA support and funding. 

Table 13 - Percentage of HIDTA Initiatives Using Event and Case Deconfliction Services 

These 8 initiatives represent 3 enforcement initiatives (two in Oklahoma and one in 

Texas that is comprised of 6 enforcement squad components) and do not include any intelligence 

or support initiatives.

In 2005, the North Texas HIDTA saw a 27% increase in total deconflictions submitted. This 

continues the trend we have seen each year since the start of this program. Current users of our 

deconfliction services include all HIDTA initiatives, member agencies and area departments. Our 

services in this project are open to all agencies and support has been outstanding from everyone. In 

addition to receiving fax and phone requests, we have implemented electronic submission to 

encourage more agency participation. This service did not exist in this area prior to implementation by 

the North Texas HIDTA and we continue to believe that it is a critical program improving both the 

efficiency and safety of our investigations. Of the 8 North Texas HIDTA initiatives eligible to use 

deconfliction services, 100% participated. 

Table 15 - Percentage of Investigations Provided Analytical Support, 2005 

*99 (RISC-73, OIC-24, TNIS-2)

 The North Texas HIDTA Regional Intelligence Support Center (RISC) and its 

intelligence subsystems continue to provide comprehensive intelligence and case support. Table 

15 shows a lower number and percentage of Targeted Investigations actually receiving analytical 

support. This is due to a clarification in the definition of what constituted actual “case” analytical 

support. Previously, intelligence inquiries (target checks, etc.) not requiring additional analytical 

support had been counted.

The increase in referrals shown in Table 16 is the result of the establishment of a tracking 

system as referred to in the 2004 Annual Report. 

VII. Conclusions 

The reporting period of January 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005 was the seventh year 

of operation for the North Texas HIDTA. The North Texas HIDTA Program continues to 

increase its: involvement in high-level investigations, participation in deconfliction, intelligence 

support to law enforcement and overall service to the community. State and local law 

enforcement departments throughout the region continue to experience funding cutbacks. As 

funding is lost, the ability of those agencies to work together in a cooperative manner to conduct 

drug investigations becomes even more critical than in past years. The North Texas HIDTA 

assists in fostering cooperative relationships and the consolidation of resources, enabling 

agencies in the region to continue conducting meaningful and successful drug trafficking and 

manufacturing investigations. 

North Texas HIDTA’s ability to fund and support intelligence driven drug enforcement 

operations has been critical to drug enforcement operations in the North Texas HIDTA region. 

The North Texas HIDTA is also the primary provider of event and target deconfliction services. 

CY 2005 marks the second year that the North Texas HIDTA has reported initiative 

operational targets and subsequent outcomes using the performance measurement tables 

throughout this Annual Report. These graphic presentations illustrate how both North Texas 

HIDTA goals are well on target. Clear evidence of successful initiative productivity is present 

throughout the report, and one must conclude that drug availability is being reduced, DTOs are 

being disrupted or dismantled (Goal 1), and these accomplishments are being done efficiently, 

effectively and at less budgetary cost through HIDTA sponsored training and information 

sharing (Goal 2). 

19
 
Historically, it was uncommon for diverse law enforcement entities to share strategic or 

operational information. Many agencies feared a breach of security or confidentiality if they 

permitted “outsiders” to look at confidential files. Naturally, this foreclosed many opportunities 

to avoid duplication of effort, and one can only speculate about how many drug and other violent 

crimes remain unsolved because information held by one department or agency was never shared 

with another. Fortunately, in the several years the North Texas HIDTA has been in existence, 

there has been a steady positive increase in the number of queries or data elements shared 

through the North Texas HIDTA computer infrastructure and the number of interactions between 

law enforcement, intelligence and prosecution activities. The bottom line is that interagency 

barriers are gradually but steadily falling. Technology is also facilitating this behavioral 

transition. Disparate database files that could not be connected in the past can now communicate, 

over high-speed computer networks to share data and facilitate joint law enforcement, 

intelligence and prosecution efforts. 

With support from the North Texas HIDTA RISC, OIC, and TNIS, law enforcement 

operational initiatives continue to make significant progress in identifying, investigating and 

dismantling the most dangerous and prolific drug dealers, money launderers and weapons 

traffickers operating in the North Texas HIDTA region. 

North Texas HIDTA is extremely pleased that its initiatives comply fully with the 

precepts of Goals 1 and 2. Namely, they have been extremely efficient and effective in achieving 

their results to date, and continue to improve going forward. CY 2005 marked a positive turning 

point in the North Texas HIDTA history of fighting illicit drug activities. HIDTA leadership, 

both nationally and locally, envisioned an organization that could do even more than had been 

accomplished in previous years. It saw an organization that could improve by becoming more 

proactive. 

The principle of measurable results for each federal dollar spent was adopted as a key 

component of the HIDTA Program using the PMP tables. More than 40 federal, state and local 

agencies in the North Texas HIDTA region participate in the North Texas HIDTA law 

enforcement, investigative support, and intelligence initiatives. Proactive thinking is also a key 

component to the North Texas HIDTA local support as staff strives to foster efficiency and 

effectiveness among and between the initiatives under its guidance, through interagency 

cooperation and information sharing. 

North Texas HIDTA technology provided the necessary infrastructure to consolidate 

available resources, and provided a platform for intelligence gathering and information sharing. 

The North Texas HIDTA is clearly an efficient multi-agency system, where every initiative now 

has a clear set of objectives, and where the cumulative product can be measured, evaluated, and 

fine-tuned as needed. 

Although the North Texas HIDTA has made considerable progress over the past year, 

there are still many challenges to face. The emergence of internationally connected drug 

trafficking organizations, the continuing unacceptably high levels of methamphetamine addiction 

and drug-related crime; the persistent abuse of cocaine HCL, crack cocaine, marijuana, MDMA 

and the other drugs as described throughout this report are all threats that the North Texas 

HIDTA must continue to address. By bringing together criminal justice professionals and 

developing innovative, effective solutions to the region’s drug threats, the North Texas HIDTA 

will continue to lead the effort to protect regional residents from the scourge of illegal drugs.
