The transportation infrastructure includes two Interstate highways, I-10 and I-20; two U.S. highways, US-67 and US-90; two state highways, 17 and 54; El Paso International Airport; and three ports of entry, El Paso, Fabens, and Presidio. El Paso is a city with a population of over 250,000. Alpine, Fort Davis, Fort Stockton, Pecos, and Sierra Blanca are cities with populations of less than 100,000. Big Bend National Park lies in the southern portion of the HIDTA.
This assessment provides a strategic overview of the illicit drug situation in the West Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), highlighting significant trends and law enforcement concerns related to the trafficking and abuse of illicit drugs. The report was prepared through detailed analysis of recent law enforcement reporting, information obtained through interviews with law enforcement and public health officials, and available statistical data. The report is designed to provide policymakers, resource planners, and law enforcement officials with a focused discussion of key drug issues and developments facing the West Texas HIDTA.
