Harry Hines Boulevard has long had a reputation, but what’s happening there now goes far beyond that. This isn’t just about prostitution anymore, it’s about trafficking, violence, and a total breakdown of public safety in one of Dallas’s most neglected corridors. In April, a 13-year-old girl disappeared from school and was later found by her family near a homeless camp off Harry Hines. She told police she had been coached into sex work to survive. Just months earlier, a man was arrested for murdering three women, two with ties to prostitution, dumping their bodies in fields after picking them up along the boulevard. Local business owners are fed up. They’ve reported public sex acts, aggressive loitering, and finding used condoms and sex toys on their properties. One of our friends, Jimmy, who owns Original Market Diner on Harry Hines Blvd, even witnessed a naked man walk by while he was with his teenage daughter. And the biggest issue? When they call police, no one shows up. Response times in the Harry Hines area now average over two hours for calls involving prostitution or suspicious activity. Officers aren’t ignoring the problem, they’re already on calls from hours earlier. Meanwhile, the city continues to claim crime is down, while business owners, families, and trafficking victims are left to deal with the fallout. |
If you’re tired of the silence, contact your city council member and ask: Where are the officers we were promised under Prop U? It’s time Dallas started showing up again. |

Press Highlights: |
Dallas Gang Member Out on Bond Kills Innocent Driver An alleged Dallas gang member, out on bond for assault, weapons, and burglary charges, led police on a high-speed chase, crashed into a stalled car, and killed an innocent driver. This is the cost of leftist policies that keep releasing violent offenders with no justice served. |
Common Sense on Homelessness Is Now ‘Controversial’ in Dallas City leaders like Cara Mendelsohn are calling for compassionate, common-sense solutions to Dallas’ homelessness crisis. That’s now considered “controversial” here. |
Homeless Woman Executed in Random Attack—Dallas Isn’t Safe She was asleep outside a Rent-A-Center when a man walked by, came back, and shot her in the chest. No robbery. No struggle. Just murder. If this is what “random” looks like now, how much longer do we pretend Dallas is safe? |
Tracking Illegal Camps:

District 2, Councilman Jesse Moreno
“Fence-Side Camp”
Along the edge of IH-45 in The Cedars, a tent and heap of belongings press up against the barrier wall—right next to a public sidewalk. There’s no shade, no safety, just another sign of how normalized this crisis has become. Councilman Jesse Moreno, how many more corners of your district are you willing to sacrifice before real enforcement returns?

District 6, Councilman Omar Narvaez “Highway Hangout” Under IH-35E in Gribble, a pair of folding chairs, a utility box, and a trash bin overflowing with junk now mark yet another makeshift camp in District 6. It may seem small today, but these setups grow fast—and rarely stay contained. Councilman Omar Narvaez, is this really the kind of long-term settlement we want forming along our highways? |

District 2, Councilman Jesse Moreno “Apartment-Side Encampment” Right beside a residential apartment complex on Cleveland Street, this growing camp has brought tents, trash, and chaos into a space meant for families. No one should have to walk out their front door and be met with this. Councilman Jesse Moreno, is this your vision for housing stability in District 2? |
