Modern-day Texas Ranger Cordell Walker's independent crime-solving methods are rooted in the rugged traditions of the Old West. Walker's closest friend is former Ranger C.D. Parker, who retired due to a knee injury and now owns "C.D.'s," a Country/Western saloon/restaurant. Rookie Ranger James "Jimmy" Trivette is an ex-football player who bases his crime-solving methods on logic and utilizes computers and cell phones. Alex Cahill is the Assistant DA who shares a mutual attraction with Walker but often disagrees with his unorthodox approach to law enforcement.
