Thank you for the post JCB. So Vinny Ocean was living in Houston at the time, so there is really no more LCN presence in that city. Houston is the biggest city in Texas and is the hardest for the street gangs and drug cartels to have complete control of the city. Joe Marcello had interests in Houston around the late 1950's till the late 1990's. Dallas did have a crew in the city but rumor has it that they pulled out of Houston after their capo over the city was murdered in the late 1940's.

The Civello's were related through marriage to New Orleans, Rockford, and Denver crime families. Blood relations through members of Los Angeles, Kansas City and Tampa crime families. They were also close to the Lanza's of San Francisco crime family, and the Cerrito's of the San Jose crime.
