One of 30 vacant and substandard houses that are connected with illegal activity will be demolished by the Texas National Guard, as part of Operation Crackdown, a counter-drug task force program. In place since 1993, the program uses drug forfeiture funds to pay for demolitions of houses across the state.
Operation Crackdown works as an active partner with cities, reclaiming neighborhoods from the influences of illegal drugs and associated violence by removing structures that house illegal activities. The Guard has demolished more than 1,200 structures in 24 communities statewide to date. Dallas is the largest city to benefit from the program.
