Texas Crime Rate Continues to Drop, with McAllen Seeing Its Lowest Levels in Decades
McAllen and Brownsville each reported a 21% crime drop in 2025 as Texas extended a statewide decline that began in 2023, officials said.
- Crime in Texas has been decreasing since 2023, with McAllen reporting its lowest crime levels in 40 years and a 21% drop in 2025.

- While ICE presence might have played a role, experts said it is still too soon to know if it drove down crime or created fear in reporting it.
