TS Constitution
Texas Syndicate members are required to follow a "Constitution," stipulating that members:
Be a Texan
Always remain a member
Place the Texas Syndicate before anything else
Understand that the Texas Syndicate is always in the right
Wear the Texas Syndicate tattoo
Never let a member down
Respect other members
Keep all gang information within the group (Fong 1990)
Leadership is determined by democratic vote, requiring unanimity. Recruitment is achieved by demonstrating a "homeboy connection," passing a background check to make sure the prospect is not an informer, and receiving a unanimous vote

Bandidos
Bandidos
Bandidos were started in San Leon, Texas in March 1966 by Donald Chambers.
Their colors are red letter on a gold background. Support clubs use opposite color schemes.
Center patch on their “colors” is the Fat Mexican which was copied from the Frito Lay Corp. that was used to advertise Fritos corn chips.
The bottom rocker on the “colors” represent what State the Bandido member is from. Other outlaw motorcycle gangs do not allow other gangs to use the State name forcing them to use city or county.
Bandidos is an all Harley club
