Harris County Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force shut down

Via Scott, the Harris County Organized Crime and Narcotics Task Force, which was headed up in Baytown, has been shut down. Given that their accomplishments include mistaking hibiscus plants for pot, I'd say on balance this is a good thing. And, as Scott notes, the Byrne Grant money that had been earmarked for them can now be put to use on drug treatment and probation services.

Does that mean organized crime in Harris County no longer exists?
