the texas highway patrol was established in 1929 as the texas highway motor patrol, tasked with enforcing traffic laws on texas roads. the original force was made up of about 60 officers who patrolled on motorcycles, often in pairs. because of this, it was not uncommon for troopers to drive criminals to jail in the offenders' own cars, then return later for the motorcycle left on the side of the road. when the texas department of public safety was formed in 1935, the highway motor patrol was transferred into that department and was renamed the texas highway patrol. the use of motorcycles was phased out after world war ii, and cars became troopers' main mode of transportation. two-way radio and teletype were also added in the late 1940s, allowing troopers to communicate with regional dispatch centers. the aviation unit was established in 1949 with the purchase of a single-engine aircraft based in austin.
