Texas Scorecard by Sydnie Henry December 22, 2025
The sheriff’s office reports that all but one of the vehicles was impounded. Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd’s office says deputies stopped a 21-vehicle convoy on U.S. Highway 59 headed toward the Mexican border on Friday, impounding nearly every vehicle for lacking lawful registration—and raising sharp questions about why other agencies allow similar operations to roll unchallenged.
According to a public statement from the Goliad County Sheriff’s Office, deputies conducted a single traffic stop on Highway 59 and detained a line of 21 vehicles traveling in convoy toward Mexico.
Officials reported that:
• One vehicle was registered in Mexico.
• One was displaying a license plate that had been canceled.
• One bore a plate that had been replaced and should have been destroyed.
• The remaining vehicles had no valid Texas registration or temporary permit as required under state law for vehicles operating on public roadways.
All but one of the vehicles were removed from the highway and impounded, with the sheriff’s office emphasizing that no tow fees were charged in connection with the operation.
In the post, the sheriff’s office linked these in-tow vehicles to cartel money laundering, saying most cars are wrecked or salvage-title units that cannot legally be imported into Mexico and are pushed across the border by corrupt arrangements.
