No. State of Texas Roleplay is a fictional gaming and roleplay community. We are not affiliated with any real law enforcement agency, fire department, EMS agency, government organization, municipality, county, or state agency.

You must be at least 15 years old to join State of Texas Roleplay. Some departments, divisions, positions, certifications, or leadership roles may have additional eligibility requirements.

Yes, if you plan to participate in in-game roleplay. Members participating in the FiveM server will need a compatible copy of GTA V and FiveM installed on a supported computer. Some website and community functions may still be accessible outside the game.

Available applications can be found on the Applications page. Applications are reviewed by the appropriate staff or department leadership team.

Once approved, you may receive a department membership and begin onboarding. Depending on the department, this may include account and profile setup, department orientation, Discord access, required training, policy review, certifications, division placement, equipment or uniform setup, and supervisor or training sign-off.

Processing times can vary based on the department, application volume, staff availability, and the type of application submitted. Submitting duplicate applications or repeatedly contacting staff generally will not speed up the process.
