We have had activity from both the Zetas and La Familia / Knights Templar in Austin. Last week, I saw a report on the evening news that the son of a Knights Templar boss was pulled over in Westlake, one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in Austin, and the cops found a bunch of money in his car. I cannot find a link to it.
In the last year, there were some significant busts and the Zeta money laundering trial:

Miguel Treviño Morales, aka Z-40, was the leader of Los Zetas until his arrest in July, 2013. Omar is believed to be leading the Zetas now.
