The Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT) is an American white supremacist and Neo-Nazi prison and street gang.

[4] According to the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas is one of the largest and most violent neo-Nazi white supremacist prison gangs and organized criminal enterprises in the United States, responsible for numerous murders and other violent crimes.

These major and more or less simultaneous changes created an atmosphere of uncertainty and a lack of control that proved fertile breeding grounds for Black, Hispanic and White race-based prison gangs.

From its beginning, the ABT emerged as one of the most violent gangs in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, committing 13 murders in 1984–85 alone.

[10] The ABT's first war was with the black gang Mandingo Warriors, who were beaten to the point of near extermination within the prison system.

Texas Mafia (TM) was "parked" system wide, meaning they were no longer allowed to recruit members, after the ABT–TM wars in 1995/1996.

In 2001, ABT member Mark Anthony Stroman was sentenced to death for his killing spree on Middle Eastern people.

According to investigations conducted by the authorities, Taylor was tortured, sexually assaulted, and murdered by ex-ABT gang members.

Dale "Tiger" Jameton is being held in the Estelle Unit in unincorporated Walker County[14][15][16] In 2012, Terry Sillers, a former General in the ABT, was arrested after leading police on a wild motorcycle chase near Fort Worth.

[19] The investigation was handled by numerous law enforcement agencies coordinated by the Texas Anti-Gang Center, and more than 190 kilograms of meth, about $376,500, and 31 firearms were seized.
