Police department gets boot in west Texas town | Latest News | KENS5.com: "Marfa's quiet country lifestyle and thriving art scene make this tiny west Texas town a favorite getaway.
But the city won't keep its police chief and two officers when the police department shuts down October 1.
'It's all about consolidation. What we're trying to do is run our community as efficiently as possible,' said Marfa mayor, Dan Dunlap.
According to the mayor, the city will save $90,000 a year by hiring the Presidio County Sheriff's Office to replace the local police department. The sheriff's office already patrols the rest of the rugged border city."
As you're all aware, the town of Clearview has always hired the Sheriff's Office in place of a local police department. Sheriff Rhodes is appreciative of the deal.

Isn't Marfa the home of that notorious fugitive from justice Randy Quaid and the Mrs.?
Maybe they need the police department after all.

That's the place, all right. It's also the setting of David Morrell's latest novel.
