Framing the marshal for a robbery he didn't commit, Niles forces Tex to strip off his badge and hunt him down on his own terms, leading the ranger into a carefully laid trap. With his dog Fury at his side, Tex must outthink a clever opponent who's determined to destroy him the same way the law destroyed his brother.

The Man From Texas

Emmet Blaine has spent four grueling years hunting the man responsible for a Wells-Fargo stage robbery that claimed the life of the woman he loved—a renegade named Martin Drago who vanished with the loot and reinvented himself as a wealthy power in the town of Burrville. Now Blaine has finally tracked him down and cornered him for a reckoning, determined to face him man-to-man and let him know exactly why his time has come. What unfolds is a tense confrontation where justice takes an unexpected turn, and Blaine discovers that four years of vengeance may not be the answer he thought it was.
