They called I didn't answer. I live in Texas, but not in Grapevine.

Bogus TX State Troopers asking for money,

Much of the money raised by TSTA doesn't actually go to officers or their families. According to a recent IRS filing by the TSTA, its telemarketing efforts yielded $3.59 million through telephone solicitations. Of that amount, more than 75%  or $2.78 million  was spent on professional fundraising fees. The IRS documents also indicate the organization spent just $10,800 on trooper death benefits.

Looks like they have a long and hallowed history of scamming people for money in order to pay the top dogs at that organization a tidy bit of change.  The Texas AG went after them and then they counter sued.  I would have to wonder why these people need extra money since the state gives them 1/4 million as a lump sum death benefit on top of any insurance they might have, and the Feds give them another $300,000.

Harassing [***] looking for money. They keep calling every three or four months despite repeated requests to  be removed from their calling list. They claim to  be fun raisers for Texas State Troopers but I highly question this due to the fact they never have taken me off their call list.

This is one charity and their corrupt fundraisers that fail to identify themselves as calling on behalf of, that is listed under the dysfunctional Texas AG and consumer protection.  Their pathetic 17 member list under law enforcement LETSA does list see https://texasattorneygeneral.gov/consumer/letsa/index.php   Texas State Troopers Association     TX  5555 N. Lamar #D-111 Austin, TX   78751 and the solicitors they use:

i can only assume that this number is the one calling me. the CID only show '7-203-9072'. for some reason my phone (panasonic) cannot block it...i guess these scammers know it...it's a shame how sick and annoying some people have become...i8 guess i will have to invest money in a better phone system. i'm damn sure not going to invest it in their rip-off promotion....

Attempts have been made to stop these telemarketers in the past :
