According to this article on Fox 4 News, by Peyton Yager
DALLAS – Gov. Greg Abbott says since the start of Operation Lone Star on the southern border, there have been about 18,000 felony arrests by DPS and border city police officers.

Witnesses testified Monday before committee members that the courts are inundated and simply trying to play catch up. The next step is working to find a solution to streamline these cases.
