I don't know about you but I don't think there are Texas police.

I went to a computer school in about 1965 and one of their benefits was that they had a list of part time jobs available for students. Mine was phone soliciting for donations for families of fallen officers in the sheriff's department. I was suspicious and at the end of my first shift I called the sheriff's office to be sure they were legitimate. They raided the place that afternoon and arrested a bunch of people.
I was told at the time by the deputy I talked with that this was a long time favorite scam. I'd never heard of it before. There was just something about the way I was told to avoid certain questions and hang up under certain conditions that made me suspicious.
Unfortunately, the result was that the school would no longer send me to part time jobs.
