Tango Blast is considered the greatest gang threat in Texas, according to a new report, while a previous powerhouse – the Texas Syndicate – has been downgraded from the top tier because of disruptions from law enforcement and Tango affiliates. The other most significant gangs in Texas are Latin Kings, Texas Mexican Mafia and Mara Salvatrucha – known as MS-13 – according to the 2017 Texas Gang Threat Assessment from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
