Appearances: "Eyes of a Ranger"
The ex-boyfriend of Kelly Wyman who was running a heroin cartel, unbeknownst to her and his father, Ramsey Alt.

Baker, Moody and Rogers
Baker, Moody and Rogers
Portrayed by: Pat Skipper (Baker), Peter Crombie (Moody) and Jay Huguley (Rogers)
Appearances: "Deadly Situation"
Appearances: "Deadly Situation"
A trio of former detectives for the Sage City, Texas, Police Department's Zero-Tolerance Unit whom the Rangers competed against in a baseball game at the beginning of the episode, then were stripped of their badges and positions for their involvement in a drug ring operated by Chick Winslow after being busted by rookie officer and aspiring Texas Ranger Glenn Cooper. When Cooper found out about their involvement in the operation and told Lt. Shell all about it, Shell tipped off the trio, at which point they and set him and his partner, Simms, up for their crimes in an effort to silence him for good.
- Big Bad: The three serve as the main antagonists of "Deadly Situation" along with Chick Winslow and Lieutenant Shell.
- Casanova Wannabe: Rogers towards Sydney, and his unwanted advances towards her prompt her to pulverize him twice. The first time is at the local bar after the baseball game when she leaves the ladies' room, and then, the second time is when she and Gage arrest him, Baker and Moody for their involvement in the drug trafficking operation after beating them to the evidence Glenn hid at the library.
- Death Row: In addition to turning in their badges after the truth comes out, Baker and Moody are said to be facing the death penalty after they murdered Simms and almost killed Kristi.
- Destroy the Evidence: Glenn thought he could trust Lt. Shell with the pictures he took of the trio's involvement in the drug trafficking ring run by Chick Winslow at Henners' Barn after the recent arrest of Smokey Cole, but he would later be proven wrong near the end when he tells the Rangers about the copies of the photos he took and the negatives hidden at a library. Glenn busted the trio at the barn hours after the party at the bar following the baseball game, and then gave the photos to Lt. Shell the following morning Rather than take the original photos Glenn gave him to internal affairs, Lt. Shell likely destroyed them before planting the stolen drugs in his locker, and then sending the trio after him and Simms, where they kill the latter officer and make it to look like a suicide, and then tried to kill District Attorney Clark after they chased Glenn to her office. Quickly subverted, however, when Gage and Sydney beats the trio to the evidence Glenn hid at the library and promptly arrest them, and Rogers, from there, promptly confesses Lt. Shell's involvement in the case. Lt. Shell then goes on to commit suicide before he could be arrested by Walker and Captain Ryder.
- Dirty Cop: The trio was caught red-handed by Glenn while he was staking out Henners' Barn for two days in a row, and then, after Lt. Shell set him up, they (mostly Baker) killed Simms and made it look like a suicide after raiding Glenn's home. After the three dirty detectives chase Glenn to District Attorney Clark's office so he can apprise her of what they were up to, they shoot her while trying to either arrest or assassinate him. Baker, Moody and Rogers then try to find and destroy the negatives and second set of photos Glenn hid at the library, but Gage and Sydney get there first and arrest them. Lt. Shell realizes he has been caught after the three detectives are arrested and, while Trivette, Gage and Sydney arrest Chick Winslow, he commits suicide at his home before Walker and Captain Ryder could arrest him.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Of the trio, only Rogers seems to be the cooperative one. After the three are arrested by Gage and Sydney after the two retrieved the additional photos Glenn hid at the library, they all tried to play the blame game on one another, but it's Rogers who reveals the real truth.
- He Knows Too Much: Their involvement in the drug trafficking ring run by Chick Winslow is captured on camera by Glenn, and his partner, Simms, and Lt. Shell are the only two who know about it. After receiving the original copies of the evidence from Glenn, Lt. Shell tipped off the trio of this, planted the stolen drugs in Glenn's locker, and their only solution to dealing with Glenn and Simms is to silence them.
- Laser-Guided Karma: After Lt. Shell commits suicide at his home before Walker and Captain Ryder could arrest him, the trio is indicted for their roles in Chick's operation, killing Simms and almost killing District Attorney Clark, while Chick himself is indicted for trafficking narcotics. Rogers testifies, having told Gage and Sydney everything after they were arrested, and avoids receiving the death penalty.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: After Glenn busts them at Henners' Barn hours after the party at the bar following the baseball game, perhaps it would've been a good idea for him to turn in the evidence to the nearest Texas Ranger office; had he known in the first place Lt. Shell was the leading dirty cop in Chick Winslow's drug trafficking ring following the bust, he would've never turned in the evidence to him in the first place, leading up to him and Simms being set up for the crime. To be fair, however, he doesn't realize the truth until near the climax, where Gage and Sydney arrest the trio before they could steal and destroy the extra photos he hid at the library.
- Turn in Your Badge: The fate of the trio after they are arrested and indicted for their roles in Chick's operation, killing Simms and almost killing District Attorney Clark.
- Villain with Good Publicity: Along with Lt. Shell, they seemed to be dedicated officers cracking down on drug rings, when in actuality, the four were working for a drug dealer, and set up Cooper for their crimes after he staked them out for days. The trio was tipped off by Lt. Shell after Cooper gave him the original copies.

The owner of a junkyard where Gage and Sydney find the grille for a Buick LeSabre used to kill Connie Gibson, the head juror of the Viscardi trial. He refused to talk, at first, but then cooperated after Sydney and Gage arrested him and his many employees.
- I Never Said It Was Poison: Gage and Sydney's search for the Buick LeSabre in connection with Connie Gibson's murder leads them to his junkyard, which is the last stop on their list. They are successful at finding the grille for the car, and he tries to say it wasn't blue to try to cover things up to no avail. Cue Gage and Sydney fighting Hugo's employees after incapacitating him, followed by calling for backup to arrest all of them. Whoops!
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It is unknown of what happens to him after he is arrested by Sydney and Gage. We can assume he's serving a long prison sentence, or perhaps a lesser sentence since he revealed to the two Rangers the location of Connie Gibson's killer.
Harley Birdwell and Dag Tisker
Harley Birdwell and Dag Tisker
The boyfriends of Aurora Slaughter and Randi Ruiz who free them from the prison bus en route to Gatesville, killing the driver and giving the guard minor injuries and leaving Lara Pope and Hitch Harrelson to fend for themselves. Near the end, Walker and Trivette take them down.

You're a dangerous criminal. - Only a Flesh Wound: When the two bank-robbing couples try to pull their next heist at First Flatlands Bank, Walker and Trivette are already there. Trivette apprehends Aurora and Randi, while Walker takes down the men. Harley is arrested, having suffered a flesh wound after a bullet to the arm, while Dag is killed.
- Outlaw Couple: Not one, but two, with these men!
Johnny Blade
John "Johnny" Tyler Blade
The owner of a video arcade and leader of a gang who led a heist at an electronics warehouse that ended with the murder of Dallas Police detective Bill Sadler, which Carlos's nephew, Jesse, would take the rap for after his best friend, Bobby Landrum (who had worked with him in the heist) hid the murder weapon in his dresser.
- Big Bad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Lost Boys" along with Amoral Attorney Lawrence Patterson.
- From Camouflage to Criminal: He was once a United States Navy SEAL until he was dishonorably discharged for black-marketing stolen Navy equipment, but wasn't prosecuted.
- Gadgeteer Genius: During his time as a Navy SEAL, all the way to opening his arcade 4 years prior, as well as having disabled the security system to the electronics warehouse where the sting took place, which ended in Sadler's murder just as he caught Bobby at the front entrance.
- Hastily Hidden MacGuffin: His gun, which was used for Dallas Detective Bill Sadler's murder. When Sadler catches Bobby outside the warehouse, Bobby is willing to go peacefully, but Blade certainly isn't, having shot Sadler to death. After killing Sadler, Blade left the gun in Bobby's hands, and with police searching for the weapon, Bobby was forced to go on the run and hide it in Jesse's dresser drawer. When Blade demands that Jesse return his gun and keep silent of what happened, or else he will kill his mother, it quickly goes from bad to worse when Carlos and Theresa find the gun first, leading up to Jesse taking the blame for Sadler's murder.
- Missing Mom: His mother passed away when he was 12 years old and was in and out of foster homes through the years, up until his enlistment in the Navy when he was 19.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: His surname seems pretty meaningful!
- Sadistic Choice: The following morning after the heist, he demands that Jesse return his gun or he will kill his mother if he told the truth. Jesse decides to comply and return the gun, but before he could do so, his mother and Carlos found it first, and the former choice leads up to him being arrested for a crime he didn't commit and his mother being kidnapped in an effort to blackmail him to take the rap for it, even the defense attorney was in on it. He was going to kill both Jesse and his mother anyway: he'd have his lackeys locked up in juvey kill him in case he ever changed his mind (Walker, Trivette and Carlos stop this in time because Bobby eventually confessed to what really happened), then he'd murder the mother and make it look like a suicide.
- Video Arcade: He is the proud owner of AttakZone, which also doubles as his hideout.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We can only assume he is either serving life in prison or was sentenced to death for killing Sadler and kidnapping and threatening to murder Theresa, and Lawrence Patterson got disbarred following his arrest for helping Blade carry out the hits against Jesse and Theresa, not to mention the Metroplex Trial Lawyers Humanitarian of the Year Award that he was nominated for was rescinded.

- His Name Is...: After one of the mercenaries scream "Bolton" when another robbery is taking place, he shoots that mercenary stone cold dead. However, Walker and Trivette heard him say his name, upon which they look up his information.
- Race Against the Clock: He kills Clete Gibson, the dispatcher at Prevent Security, to keep him from talking. When Walker and Trivette search for Gibson at his home, they find his dead body hanging from a noose, but as the two Rangers cut him down, they realize too late it was a booby-trap, and the moment the two Rangers drop his body to the floor, they are given 10 seconds to escape his home before it blows to smithereens.
- Self-Destruct Mechanism: He and his gang rig up Clete Gibson's noose with one, which will go off the moment someone would be so damn stupid enough to cut it down, at which point the fishing line hidden within said noose will trigger the bomb the moment his corpse drops to the floor.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After one of the mercenaries scream "Bolton" when another robbery is taking place, he shoots that mercenary stone cold dead. However, Walker and Trivette heard him say his name, upon which they look up his information.

- Interrogation by Vandalism: Gage and Sydney do this to his bar following the brawl when they demand to know the whereabouts of his cousin, upon which he tells the two Rangers that William and McNeely are planning to flee the country after Heather is murdered.
William Borla
William Borla
McNeely's trusted pilot and right-hand man who assist him in his criminal activities. After kidnapping Heather, he steals the Prestons' private jet so they could use it to flee the country, until he is captured by Gage.
- Ballroom Blitz: He is one of six gunmen posing as waiters sent in by McNeely to shoot up the banquet hall, distracting the Rangers while McNeely gets away with his hostage. He soon joins McNeely in the getaway van after Heather is in their clutches.
- Choke Holds: He is put in one by Gage after he is ambushed at Tucker airfield. When Gage demands to know Heather's whereabouts, he refuses to talk, but he snags his cellphone so he can determine McNeely's location via phone records and Walker can get a chopper there.
- The Dragon: Pretty self-explanatory besides being his pilot.
- From Camouflage to Criminal: He was McNeely's pilot when they served in the Gulf War together, and was dishonorably discharged. All of the banquet gunmen, including him, had rap sheets a mile long, while McNeely himself has a clean record. When two of the gunmen Sydney and Gage were about to interrogate were blown to smithereens by Borla, they were quick to recognize him when Trivette pulled up his information.
- Nothing Is Scarier: We don't really get to see how he killed the pilot for the private jet when he steals it from the Prestons' hangar, and by the time Gage and Sydney arrive there to try to find them, they find that he had stolen the jet and left the pilot's bloodied body stuffed in a cabinet.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: After he is arrested by Gage, we can only assume he is serving life in prison for his involvement in Heather's kidnapping and attempted murder.

The Burner Brothers
Dwight and Toby Burner
Criminal brothers who sought to go on the run to Mexico with their best friend, Randy Delany, after paying off a loan shark, though not before they steal an ambulance containing a donated liver en route to a hospital where a dying 8-year-old girl was awaiting a transplant. They stole the ambulance and kidnapped the paramedic because Toby injured himself during the pursuit at the beginning of the episode, having collided with a pickup truck, and they needed the paramedic to treat him. When Walker and Trivette find them and recover the liver, Walker takes the liver to the hospital, while Trivette and the kidnapped paramedic give chase in the ambulance, where they eventually meet a fiery end.
- Amicable Exes: Subverted. When the Rangers look up information on Toby, they find he is listed as married, but separated for over a year, with his wife, Rachel, working as a bartender at a strip joint. After Gage and Sydney arrest Lester Squigman, who cooperates, Rachel is able to provide Walker and Trivette the address as to where the barn is located, and Walker and Trivette get a chopper there.
- Asshole Victim: Both brothers and Randy meet a fiery end when Dwight loses control of their car while being chased by Trivette and the paramedic they kidnapped after Walker recovers the liver.
- Big Bad: The brothers serve as the main antagonists of "Faith" along with Randy Delany and Lester Squigman.
- Big "NO!": From Dwight when he loses control of the car while both brothers and Randy are being chased by Trivette and the paramedic they kidnapped, skidding into a trailer full of hay bales, sending said car flying, at which point the two brothers and Randy meet a fiery end.
- Caught on Tape: After they and Randy steal the ambulance, Walker and Trivette visit the scene of the crime and manage to find Toby's gun in the storm drain (having left it behind due to his arm injury), and with the serial number, Sydney and Gage trace it back to the gun shop where he brought it. Considering his long history of crime, Toby brought it under the alias of Barry Joseph, and when Trivette checks the records (name, address and BATF number), they turn up fake, but security cameras help clear things up. Good thing the gun shop owner is a friendly and sociable person and doesn't take kindly to customers who lie to him, and the Rangers are more than happy to give the Burner boys what for once they find them and recover the liver.Gage: Sir, we're going to need to take this tape.
Shop Owner Ray: Be my guest. Teach that fella a lesson for lying to me! - Just Got Out of Jail: Prior to the events of the episode, Dwight was just released from prison, having already violated his parole.
- Lazy Alias: The alias Toby uses to buy his gun illegally is "Barry Joseph".
- Leave No Witnesses: The paramedic treats Toby's injury, but the two brothers and Randy decide to murder him afterwards. Luckily, Walker and Trivette show up and intervene and recover the liver.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: The surname sounds pretty meaningful for these boys!
- Siblings in Crime: Dwight and Toby Burner have a proud history of crime, from the proper attire for robbers (ski masks and gloves, so no prints are left) to stealing cars (the car used in the robbery was reported stolen), it's quite clear they're not amateurs.
- This Is Gonna Suck: The two brothers and Randy are being chased by Trivette and the paramedic they kidnapped in, of all vehicles, the ambulance. Dwight sees too late a trailer filled with hay bales stuck on the road up ahead, applies the brakes and lets out a Big "NO!" as the car is sent flying, and then explodes, killing the brothers and Randy.
- Vehicular Kidnapping: After Toby gets hurt following the chase after their latest bank robbery, the Burner Boys and Randy steal the ambulance, kidnapping one paramedic and killing the other.

- Make It Look Like an Accident: Any whistleblower who gets in his way will meet this outcome, whether they survive or not.
James Lee Crown
James Lee Crown
A crooked racehorse owner who seeks to bolster the value of his racehorses by making sure they win all their races, and to do so, resorts to cheating, even if it means killing off his competition. The horse he owns is named Samurai, and when Samurai loses a race against another one, he murders it and its owner and trainer (the latter of whom secretly worked for him), and while Walker and Trivette investigate those murders, he then sets his sights on the titular racehorse, who is owned by a close friend of Walker's.
- Asshole Victim: He's not the one who falls under this trope; it's Lee Kincaid after Gallant Boy wins the race, having murdered him and Gallant Boy while killing Calhoun.
- Big Bad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Rainbow's End".
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Crown seeks to bolster the value of all his racehorses by making sure they win all their races, and cheating is his only means to win, even if it means killing off his opponents.
- Disney Death: One of his mooks, Barber, disguised as a stableman, poisons Rainbow's End's food so hopefully, he wouldn't have a chance to defeat Samurai in the race, but Rainbow's End still wins it by a nose, just in time for the poison to take full effect. Walker arrests Barber after he is identified by a security guard, and then, arrests him after Barber confesses his involvement in Max and Rainbow's attempted murders, as well as the Calhoun murders. Rainbow survives the poison and wins the Texas Derby.
- Exact Words: He decides not to take any chances and orders Barber to poison Rainbow's End's food before the race, moments after Max gets released from the hospital. After knocking out a stableman and stealing his uniform, Barber put in the whole vial. Barber was just following what he said: he didn't want to take any chances.
- Faux Affably Evil
- Inside Job: While serving as the trainer for Gallant Boy for six years, Kincaid started secretly working for him at some point and was starting to have Gallant Boy to throw races, leaving Samurai to take the lead, but Calhoun realized that Gallant Boy was being pulled back (but didn't know of Kincaid's involvement at the time) and threatened to have the jockey's racing license revoked if it happened again, forcing the jockey to win to save his career. Needless to say, Calhoun is not happy that Kincaid betrayed him when Crown shows up to kill him, but it doesn't stop Crown from killing Kincaid, as well.
- Sadist: He doesn't take kindly to anyone who fails him, which is why he offed Kincaid after the race while killing Calhoun and Gallant Boy.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: Barber, one of Crown's men, knocked out the real stableman to infiltrate the track and poison Rainbow's End's food. It still doesn't stop him from winning the race against Samurai, but the poison does take full effect after the race is over.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: We can only assume he got life in prison or the death penalty for the murders of Wes Calhoun, Lee Kincaid and Gallant Boy and attempting to murder Max Elson and Rainbow's End.
Dr. John Daniels
Dr. John Daniels
The corrupt head doctor of the Quiet Rest nursing home who is in charge of Dr. Monroe's experiments.
- Big Bad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Forgotten People" along with Dr. Monroe.
- Destroy the Evidence: Walker and Trivette are alerted via CD's bible that he and Monroe are going to murder him and Maisie. The moment the two arrive at Quiet Rest to save them, Monroe demands that he give CD and Maisie the fatal needles and Derrick get the other orderlies to hold off the two Rangers while she frantically shreds the experiment records. Luckily, some pieces of evidence survived after Walker and Trivette beat up the orderlies and Maisie takes out Monroe after she and CD escape before the fatal drugs are administered.
- He Knows Too Much: Anyone who tries to escape the nursing home or tell an outside source what's really going on, and that patient is as good as dead!
- I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: Quiet Rest may seem like a picturesque nursing home, but many of its patients there have been dying at an alarming rate, because little do the families know, he and Monroe are using the nursing home as a testing facility for their experiments, and as a result, nine patients have died.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Ranging from the drugs themselves, the leftover experiment records that weren't shredded during the final fight scene, the autopsies of the nine patients who died since the start of the episode (ten if you count Josh) and the testimonies of the other patients, Walker, Trivette, C.D. and Alex have a sufficient amount of evidence to convict him and Monroe and send them to prison while their ex-con staff members are sent back to prison.
- Leave No Witnesses: Residents at Quiet Rest stay, but they never leave, lest they turn up dead trying to escape or tell an outside source what's really going on. However, C.D. is an undercover (retired) Texas Ranger and he has backup...
- MacGuffin: PSL-130, an experimental Alzheimer's drug used as a counteragent against the disease. Patients using it were showing signs of improvement, but was later banned by the FDA due to the devastating side effects it has, ranging from significantly high rates of strokes and heart attacks to unexplained seizures. Using a nursing home like Quiet Rest is the perfect cover for him and Monroe to conduct their experiments of getting variations of this illegal drug out on the market. After he and Monroe murdered Josh and Trivette requested an autopsy, he was worried a sample of the drug would show up during the autopsy, but Monroe hoped it wouldn't prove a thing; she was dead wrong. After Walker and Alex get C.D. admitted into Quiet Rest to try to find any paperwork verifying their suspicion of their illegal testing or samples of the drug, five out of the nine families agreed to exhume the bodies while Alex tries to get court orders for the remaining four, and if traces are found of the drug in any of the patients, Walker and Trivette would be given probable cause for a search warrant.
- Mad Doctor: To a T when you're experimenting with illegal drugs, especially when you have ex-con orderlies carrying out your dirty work!
- Mad Scientist: To a T when you're experimenting with illegal drugs, especially when you have ex-con orderlies carrying out your dirty work!
- Orderlies are Creeps: The most scary part about their army of orderlies is they are all ex-cons!
- Would Harm a Senior: Pretty self-explanatory, especially since all the orderlies he and Monroe hired are ex-cons!

- The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Pretty self-explanatory when you have outlaw bikers working for you.
- Big Bad: He serves as the antagonist of "Unsafe Speed" along with the Raptors.
- Greater-Scope Villain: He is not fought by Walker and Trivette when they bust up his operation after Sydney and Gage's cover is blown. He is just apprehended afterwards.

- Big Bad: He serves as one of the main antagonists of "Faith" along with the Burner Boys.
- This Is Gonna Suck: He and the Burner Boys are being chased by Trivette and the paramedic they kidnapped in, of all vehicles, the ambulance. Dwight sees too late a trailer filled with hay bales stuck on the road up ahead, applies the brakes and lets out a Big "NO!" as the car is sent flying, and then explodes, killing him and the brothers.
- Vehicular Kidnapping: After Toby gets hurt following the chase after their latest bank robbery, he and the Burner Boys steal the ambulance, kidnapping one paramedic and killing the other.

- Big Bad: He serves as one of the main antagonists of "Blood Diamonds" along with General Nelson Abu and Flint the Pimp.
- Didn't Think This Through: It's Walker and Trivette who fall under this trope rather than him while they are in the middle of their covert operation. The two Rangers should have worn gloves while undercover, had they known he could figure out their real identities through their fingerprints.
- Evil Brit: He was born in Liverpool in 1963, right at the same time The Beatles hit it big and speaks in a heavy British accent.
- Hanging Around: He kills Trivette this way after catching on to his and Walker's cover.

- Big Bad: He serves as the main antagonist of "Deadline".
- Buried Alive: The method of torture he has planned for Lindsay after he kidnaps her: a makeshift coffin buried in a rural Texas field located within his boyhood home, which is considered one of the most terrifying in all of episodic television. Even worse: He buries her with a flashlight and a supply of oxygen, all to make this a very slow, traumatizing torture. She barely survives.
- Evil Uncle: His uncle Troy Winston. Orphaned, he was raised by Troy and grows from juvenile delinquent into a life of a master jewel thief and murderer. Despite his upbringing, Eckert admires his uncle and lives with him as he grows into a "10 Most Wanted" criminal, and he and Walker have a long history, considering his extensive criminal record ranging from drug trafficking to robbery, and now, in his threat to kill Lindsay to extort her father's fortune, adding kidnapping to his résumé.

The leader of the Black Talon, an Iraqi terrorist organization who sought to use a new military superweapon to take out the entire country.

A bookie named Ollie Olmedo becomes its first victim during the prologue of the episode and became the third victim of the pool that month overall, Trivette nearly ends up in it while disguised as a pimp named Luther while the real Luther flees Dallas to Miami (lucky thing Eddie Coburn doesn’t know what Luther looks like, and much to Trivette’s chagrin, his gun was dropped in it), and a possible fourth victim overall nearly ends up taking an acid bath until he is rescued by Gage and Sydney and Eddie Coburn is arrested, but he refuses to talk.
- And Your Little Dog, Too!: Ferrelli is willing to hurt Frank’s family if he doesn’t give in to his demands.
- Big Bad: As the big boss of the Ferrelli Crime Family, Tony serves as the main antagonist of "Saturday Night".
- Co-Dragons: Sonny Martone, Billy Ferrelli, Eddie Coburn, Chachi, Satch, Al, Paulie Bannon and Carlos Gower. According to the feds, Sonny is second-in-command of the gang, while Gower, Bannon and Billy are three of its underbosses (Billy being the younger brother of Tony). Chachi and Satch run the prostitution game for the crime family, which is why they want to claim ownership of Frank’s club, since they need a cash-heavy business for their money laundering. Eddie Coburn dishes out the punishments to those who say "no" by giving them an acid bath. While Sonny is the main target for the Rangers while trying to help Frank save his club, Walker, wanting to put the whole organization away, has his sights set on a much bigger target: Tony Ferrelli.
- Laser-Guided Karma: With Frank's testimony against Sonny for extortion, and the entire gang for money laundering, the organization is put away for life.
- Shame If Something Happened: The threat Tony Ferrelli and his gang make against Frank’s wife and daughter one night before a show when Sonny pays a visit, which prompts Walker to look into what the Ferrelli gang has planned for him.
- Siblings in Crime: Tony and Billy Ferrelli. The elder brother, Tony, is the big boss of the gang, while Billy serves as one of three underbosses along with Gower and Bannon.
- Unwilling Suspension: Ferrelli and his goons tie the victim's hands behind their backs and hang them by their ankles when they lower them into the Acid Pool.

Appearances: "Special Witness"
Appearances: "Special Witness"
A mob boss on trial for murder trying everything possible to avoid prison time. With other witnesses having recanted their testimony, Trent is the only one brave enough to testify and if he doesn't, Alex has no case to build against him. He hires a federally-wanted assassin to kill Trent Malloy, or at least, hospitalize him long enough so he can't testify against him, and the only witness to his stabbing was Sally, a Special Olympian whom he was escorting to running practice. The Rangers and Carlos then set out to catch Trent's attacker to add witness tampering to his already-growing rap sheet, all the while protecting Sally from being killed herself.
- Affably Evil
- Big Bad: The main antagonist of "Special Witness" along with Donovan Riggs.
- Jury and Witness Tampering: A common thing for mob bosses to try to avoid prison time, having hired Riggs to incapacitate Trent so he either dies or at least stays hospitalized so he can't testify, and Alex failed at getting the trial postponed since she'll have no case if Trent doesn't pull through in time to testify. Luckily, Walker later arrests Riggs and Trent pulls through in time to testify, to which new evidence of this crime is provided in court.
- Leave No Witnesses: When he hires Riggs to murder Trent, the only witness to the crime at the time was a Special Olympian named Sally. Despite Sally having Downs Syndrome, he was quite surprised how instrumental she was in identifying Trent's attacker. Riggs would then go on to kill the sketch artist, Gloria Doran, and almost killed Sally had Walker not intervened.
- The Unfought: He is not fought by Walker and his companions through the course of the episode. He is obviously under house arrest for his crimes and trying all he can to avoid prison time.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: It's safe to assume both he and Riggs got either life in prison or the death penalty for their crimes.
Hitch Harrelson
Jane "Hitch" Harrelson
Also known as "The Thrill Killer", a serial murderer serving life without parole for killing three men. Along with Lara Pope, Aurora Slaughter and Randi Ruiz, she is one of four escaped convicts who escape the prison bus bound for the Gatesville women's prison after the bus was ambushed by Aurora and Randi's boyfriends. She and Lara were forced to fend for themselves while Aurora and Randi continued their robbery spree with their boyfriends. While trying to stay inconspicuous and borrowing Lara's uncle Walt's pickup truck, she and Lara unknowingly give Gage a ride back to Dallas after his motorcycle breaks down, as well as his cellphone's battery being dead. When the truth about everyone is finally revealed after they are stopped for speeding by a State Trooper, she decides to kill both Lara and Gage (she was considering killing the Trooper during the stop, but then reconsidered and decided to kill Gage instead after finding out who he was), only for the latter to subdue and apprehend her, but Lara gets away trying to find her son, Griffin.
- Alliterative Name: Hitch Harrelson.
- Big Bad: One of the antagonists of "Desperate Measures". Gage apprehends her shortly before Walker and Trivette apprehended Aurora, Randi and Harley and killed Dag, while Lara gets away in Walt's pickup. Due to his cellphone's battery being dead, Gage flags down a civilian and borrows his cellphone to call Sydney and tell her what happened, so he can be dropped off at Ranger HQ and she can be brought to Gatesville.
- Chained Heat: What happens to her and Lara Pope at the beginning of the episode after two other escapees are freed after their boyfriends ambush the bus. The two women turn to Lara's uncle Walt for help to get the chains removed.
- Chekhov's Gun: No pun intended since it involves a real firearm, and that gun is owned by the prison guard on the bus where the two women escaped. Lara barely talks her out of killing that guard as they escape. She almost considers killing a State Trooper after they are stopped for speeding, but decides to use it to kill Gage and Lara instead. Lara warns Gage in time, to which he returns fire, knocking the gun out of her hand and subdues and apprehends her.
- Dye or Die: After escaping the prison bus, she and Lara decide to have their hair dyed to avoid being recognized; she goes from being a redhead to a brunette, while Lara goes from blonde to redhead. It was enough to fool Gage, as well as a State Trooper who stopped them for speeding, until Lara told him the truth.
- Evil Redhead: Downplayed. She was originally a redhead, but had it dyed brunette so she and Lara wouldn't get recognized after they escape the bus.
- Faux Affably Evil: As displayed when Lara barely talks her out of killing a prison guard whose gun she stole. Also displayed when she and Lara give Gage a ride back to Dallas, then almost considers killing a State Trooper, but instead, sets her sights on Gage after the traffic stop.
- Fiery Redhead: This is her natural hair color, until she has it dyed so she and Lara can avoid being recognized after they escape the bus, at which point Lara becomes this.
- Lazy Alias: When she and Lara need aliases so they don't reveal their real names, she picks Tootie, as in Tootie-Fruitie, when she and Lara give Gage a ride back to Dallas.
- Ripped from the Headlines: Because she killed three of her lovers, inspiration for this character may or may not have come from Sharon Lynn Douglas-Fuller-Nelson-Harrelson, a three-times black widow who had killed three of her husbands.
- Serial Killer: She has a thing against men, having killed three of her lovers. She wanted to kill a State Trooper after she, Lara and Gage were pulled over for speeding, but then reconsiders and decides to kill Gage instead.

A neighbor of the Winfields' across the street sees this and calls the police, and it's not long before a match comes up for a woman matching Cara's description at Steve's trailer, where a match also comes up for the getaway car used in the burglary, at which point Walker and Trivette discover the link between the baby and the home invaders, as well as finding Steve's body and alerting the coroner.
- Leave No Witnesses: 19-year-old Steve Parkins, out of prison after serving a six-month stint for shoplifting (which was his second offense and the judge decided to set an example by not going easy on him), has made a lot of pretty bad choices in his life, but his biggest one was befriending him, Frank Jerrett and Corky Randall. Now out of prison, the gang robs the Winfield residence while they were attending a charity auction.

Cara runs away, but Trivette searches his car and finds a Maywood Hotel envelope in the visor with the H.O.P.E. Center's address scribbled on, and they find a newspaper article in Horbart's hotel room about the Pediatric AIDS auction, which could be how Horbart and his gang pick their targets, and that they plan to hit the auctioneers' home, next.
- Big Bad: One of the antagonists of "Child of Hope" along with his accomplices, Horbart, Lopez, Corky Randall and the Gorge Brothers.
- Just Got Out of Jail: He and his accomplices decide to celebrate their release from prison by committing a home invasion in a nice neighborhood, whereas Steve doesn't want any part of it, ending up serving as the lookout and getaway driver. Steve panics and flees after the homeowners are killed, at which point the gang steals the homeowners' Mercedes and then follow him to his trailer and kill him.

Luckily, Walker found him in time and he was shot dead by his own trap during their final fight.
- Abandoned Warehouse: His hideout is an old Dallas storage warehouse.
- Affectionate Nickname: McShadow, since he's always standing beside Heather. Affectionate it may be, he later reveals he hated that nickname. It was a Brick Joke throughout the episode.

- Ballroom Blitz: He was the man in the back organizing the attack on the Dallas Business Association awards, having William Borla and several other gunmen posing as waiters to shoot up the banquet hall to distract the Rangers while he escapes with his hostage.

- Big Bad: He serves as the main antagonist of "6 Hours".
- Bodyguard Betrayal: He wasn't going to take his dismissal lying down when Heather went off for college.

- Choke Holds: He puts Walker in one while they are fighting in Heather's torture chamber seconds before the shotgun goes off.

- Hoist by His Own Petard: During his final fight, Walker drags him in front of his own murder weapon at the literal last second, protecting Heather and making him take the blast. Afterwards, Walker frees Heather and takes her home.
- Leave No Witnesses: He kills a few of his own gunmen so they don't cooperate with the rangers.
- murder.com: HeatherCam2001.com, which provides live coverage of poor Heather's ordeal, as well as his eventual defeat. According to news reporters Angela Kane and Kelly Santos, it was the first televised kidnapping, and attempted murder, in history.
- Race Against the Clock: The title of the episode in which he is prominent speaks for itself: if the Rangers don't find him and save Heather, she dies within six hours!
- Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: The deathtrap he has planned for Heather is an old broken electric chair he will strap her into, placed in front of a shotgun rigged up to a timer that will go off within 6 hours.

- Suspiciously Clean Criminal Record: In a very rare case when Trivette pulls up his information after Heather has been kidnapped.
- Vehicular Kidnapping: The getaway van in the parking garage is this after he kills the Prestons' chauffeur. Two of the gunmen then meet him in the garage and quickly drive off with Heather in tow.
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: After Heather is brought to his (McNeely's) lair and restrained to her death chair, Edmund, one of the gunmen, demands that he pay him. How does he do so?

Dr. Janet Monroe
Dr. Janet Monroe
The corrupt director of the Quiet Rest nursing home who was using it as a front for a secret illegal testing facility to try to get variants of an outlawed Alzheimer's drug on the market.
- Big Bad: She serves as the main antagonist of "Forgotten People" along with along with Dr. Daniels.
- Designated Girl Fight: Usually used in the event the leading villain is female. While Walker and Trivette are fighting her orderlies after C.D. alerts them that she plans to kill him, he and Maisie escape the testing room. Maisie takes down Monroe while C.D. finds the boys, and needless to say, she was able to take her out in a single punch.
- Destroy the Evidence: Walker and Trivette are alerted via CD's bible that she and Daniels are going to murder him and Maisie. The moment the two arrive at Quiet Rest to save them, she demands that Daniels give CD and Maisie the fatal needles and Derrick get the other orderlies to hold off the two Rangers while she frantically shreds the experiment records. Luckily, some pieces of evidence survived after Walker and Trivette beat up the orderlies and Maisie takes her out after she and CD escape before the fatal drugs are administered.
- Faux Affably Evil
- Get Out!: During the final fight scene, while she is shredding the experiment records in her office after Walker and Trivette arrive and clobber the orderlies, this exchange occurs between her and Maisie after she and C.D. escaped the testing room after neutralizing Daniels and Fisher:Monroe: What are you doing here?
Maisie: Just dancing.
Monroe: Well, get out!
(Beat)
Maisie: I think not! (punches out Monroe) - He Knows Too Much: Anyone who tries to escape the nursing home or tell an outside source what's really going on, and that patient is as good as dead!
- I Don't Like the Sound of That Place: Quiet Rest may seem like a picturesque nursing home, but many of its patients there have been dying at an alarming rate, because little do the families know, she and Daniels are using the nursing home as a testing facility for their experiments, and as a result, nine patients have died.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Ranging from the drugs themselves, the leftover experiment records that weren't shredded during the final fight scene, the autopsies of the nine patients who died since the start of the episode (ten if you count Josh) and the testimonies of the other patients, Walker, Trivette, C.D. and Alex have a sufficient amount of evidence to convict her and Daniels and send them to prison while their ex-con staff members are sent back to prison.
- Leave No Witnesses: Residents at Quiet Rest stay, but they never leave, lest they turn up dead trying to escape or tell an outside source what's really going on. However, C.D. is an undercover (retired) Texas Ranger and he has backup...
- MacGuffin: PSL-130, an experimental Alzheimer's drug used as a counteragent against the disease. Patients using it were showing signs of improvement, but was later banned by the FDA due to the devastating side effects it has, ranging from significantly high rates of strokes and heart attacks to unexplained seizures. Using a nursing home like Quiet Rest is the perfect cover for her and Daniels to conduct their experiments of getting variations of this illegal drug out on the market. After she and Daniels murdered Josh and Trivette requested an autopsy, Daniels was worried a sample of the drug would show up during the autopsy, but she hoped it wouldn't prove a thing; she was dead wrong. After Walker and Alex get C.D. admitted into Quiet Rest to try to find any paperwork verifying their suspicion of their illegal testing or samples of the drug, five out of the nine families agreed to exhume the bodies while Alex tries to get court orders for the remaining four, and if traces are found of the drug in any of the patients, Walker and Trivette would be given probable cause for a search warrant.
- Mad Doctor: To a T when you're experimenting with illegal drugs, especially when you have ex-con orderlies carrying out your dirty work!
- Mad Scientist: To a T when you're experimenting with illegal drugs, especially when you have ex-con orderlies carrying out your dirty work!
- Orderlies are Creeps: The most scary part about their army of orderlies is they are all ex-cons!
- Would Harm a Senior: Pretty self-explanatory, especially since all the orderlies she and Daniels hired are ex-cons!
