It's Texas, but Nobody's Leading the Way

Statehouse Journal - Firebombing Leads to Finger-Pointing, Except at a Suspect - NYTimes.com: "AUSTIN, Tex. — It has been nearly eight weeks since someone tossed a Molotov cocktail over the wall of the Governor’s Mansion here, and the Texas Rangers seem no closer to finding the culprit than they did on the day of the fire, which gutted the historic landmark.

Lt. Alvin Alexis, in hat, the Texas Ranger in charge of the investigation, released security video pictures Tuesday and asked for the public’s help.

Indeed, the whole episode is beginning to be an embarrassment to the state police and, more specifically, to the Texas Rangers, who see themselves as something akin to Scotland Yard, except on horseback."

I'm not going to read the article but I understand the Rangers are supposed to be very good investigators. But, without evidence of tips you can get only so far.
