PARKER COUNTY SHERIFF’ S POSSE

Hall of Fame

On April 27, 2024 the Parker County Sheriff’ s Posse was inducted into the Texas Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame in Fort Worth, Texas. The Hall of Fame was founded in 1975, and is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of Texas rodeo. Located in the historic Cowtown Coliseum in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District, the Hall of Fame is lined with more

98 PCSP 79TH ANNUAL FRONTIER DAYS than 300 award plaques that reflect the history and heroes of Texas rodeo. What an honor it is to be included with many of the“ greats” of Texas rodeo. This award comes on the heels of other recognitions we have received this year, among them is the award for first place Large Outdoor Rodeo from the Texas Pro Rodeo Circuit. In addition, we received the award for Top Five in the United States for our category, awarded by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association.
The Parker County Sheriff’ s Posse was established in January of 1947, with the primary purpose of“ preserving the western heritage” of Parker County. One of the ways that is accomplished is by having an annual PRCA rodeo. This year will be our 77th rodeo, and I believe our founders would say we have done it well.
