The city of Odessa tops the list as the most dangerous Texas city with Houston coming in at No. 4, according to the Darrow Law Firm. Thirty-four cities are listed.
"It may be no surprise that of all the Texas cities, Houston has both the highest raw number and rate of violent crime. However, Houston does not have the highest murder rate - which belongs to nearby Beaumont - and is in the bottom third for rate of rape - top spot here goes to Amarillo by a substantial margin," according to the Darrow Law Firm.
