Welcome to the Two Wheeled Texans community! 
Feel free to hang out and lurk as long as you like. However, we would like to encourage you to 
After 5 years of desperately searching for local Lufkin politics online communities I found none. So, this morning I resorted to scanning Facebook, which I hate with a passion.
I was surprised by the number of "Outlaw MC's" posting advertisements on Facebag, so I asked Grok...
"Give me a complete list of all the outlaw 1%'er motorcycle clubs in Texas."
Hilariously, Grok felt obligated to warn me to stay away from them.
That's good advice, but it's funny how it felt compelled to included it.

"Here's a list of the main 1%er (outlaw) motorcycle clubs known to have a presence or established chapters in Texas, based on publicly available sources like law enforcement reports, news coverage, Wikipedia, and biker-related sites. Texas has a long history with outlaw MCs, and the Bandidos are by far the most dominant and deeply rooted club in the state (founded in San Leon, Texas, in 1966).
Strong advice: Approaching or inquiring about these clubs directly can be extremely dangerous. They have strict rules about outsiders, territory, and respect. Most public information comes from arrests, court cases, or media—not official club directories. If you're researching for academic, historical, or general interest reasons, stick to verifiable open sources.

Texas has a long history with outlaw MCs, and the Bandidos are by far the most dominant and deeply rooted club in the state (founded in San Leon, Texas, in 1966).
Major/Well-Established 1%er Clubs in Texas:
- Bandidos MC — The largest and most influential 1%er club in Texas, with numerous chapters across the state. Often considered the "big dog" in Texas biker territory. They are one of the traditional "Big Four" outlaw clubs nationally.
- Cossacks MC — Founded in Tyler, Texas (1969). Primarily a Texas-based club with a notable presence; gained widespread attention due to the 2015 Waco shootout involving rivalry with the Bandidos.
- Kinfolk MC — Founded in Texas (2016). A 1%er club made up largely of former Bandidos members; known for ongoing rivalry with the Bandidos.
Other Clubs with Reported 1%er Presence or Activity in Texas:
- B*EAST MC (Brothers East / Beast) — A newer 1%er club founded in Texas (Houston area), mentioned in recent discussions as active.
- Homietos MC — Reported as active in Texas (as well as Oklahoma and Kansas City areas) in recent years.
National Clubs with Limited or Occasional Texas Presence:
Larger national/international 1%er clubs like the Hells Angels, Mongols, Outlaws MC, and others have had varying levels of activity, attempts at expansion, or individual members in Texas over the years. However, Texas is historically strong Bandidos territory, and these clubs do not maintain the same level of established dominance or chapters as the ones listed above. Rivalries and territorial tensions (e.g., Bandidos vs. groups aligned with Hells Angels) have been documented.Important Notes:
- No truly complete public list exists. Outlaw 1%er clubs are fluid—chapters open/close, alliances shift, and many operate with low public profiles. Law enforcement (e.g., Texas DPS, FBI) tracks them as Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs (OMGs) due to alleged involvement in organized crime, drug trafficking, violence, etc., but not every member or chapter is involved in illegal activity.
- Many sources emphasize that the vast majority of motorcycle clubs in Texas are not 1%ers or "outlaw" — they are law-abiding riding clubs (RCs), veterans' groups, or social clubs.
- The 2015 Waco Twin Peaks shootout (involving Bandidos, Cossacks, and others) highlighted how territorial disputes can escalate quickly.
- Smaller or regional 1%er clubs can pop up or fade; some wear the 1% diamond patch but stay under the radar.
