LaRoy, Texas is a 2023 American crime comedy film written and directed by Shane Atkinson, and starring John Magaro, Steve Zahn, Megan Stevenson, Matthew Del Negro and Dylan Baker.

The stranger leaves a street address on a piece of paper amongst the banknotes as the only clue as to the target's identity.

Reluctant to accept that there's anything wrong with his marriage, Ray considers keeping the contract money for financing a beauty salon which Stacy-Lynn wants to open.

Without a clear idea how to carry out a contract killing, he drives to the address and follows the man living there to a bar so clumsily that he's promptly "rumbled".

In the meantime, Harry locates the bar from which he was called on his mobile phone to make arrangements for a hit on Barlow.

However, at gunpoint Ray forces Skip to give it to him because he still hopes to finance Stacy-Lynn's beauty parlor and fix their marriage.

When Ray arrives home, Stacy-Lynn and Junior turn him in to the police for murder, keeping the briefcase with the money.

Harry ambushes the police vehicle transporting Ray to the county jail and shoots both of the policemen dead.
