Hi guys. No recent indictments I can see against them, so are they just a real low key family and staying under the radar? How many made guys are still out on the street?

It is just speculation on my part but I can't help wonder with their close proximity with New Orleans if they weren't possibly going to the mattresses's against them or something. Hence the guys in NOLA outfitting their vans to wage war lol. Or maybe they were doing some local fighting or against the Tampa fam?

Like I say just speculation. If anything I think the Dallas fam could have anywhere between 0 to infitite amount of active men on the street. And could be currently engaged in major mob activities or none at all. The FBI says they don't exist but they say that about the Lochness monster too so who knows.

They've been done since the 70s. I doubt there's even 100 Italians in Dallas.

Could be they are bringing over some Zips? Denver fam might be too. Or they could be as dead as you say. Idk

Besides 100 Italians would be more than enough if say 40 to 50 are at least adult males. Philly and Detroit members are at less than 50 each I think.

wasnt the scarfo fraud operation taking place in dallas?

that is a valid point. I wonder if Dallas saying they do exist got a cut? Or if they were not even aware. Who would be representing them on the commission if they are still active?

Dallas is done and has been for quite sometime, don't think there are any made guys there, Campisi was the end of that.

well to be fair there could be a whole new Italian LCN family operating there and it wouldn't be like they placed a notice in the paper to let us know. So unless you are involved in current underworld dealings with LCN figures and the Dallas underworld lets not jump to hasty conclusions just because Campisi is dead.

Or you could be totally right and no traditional LCN family still operates within the territory of the Dallas family and Italian America mob activity is as dead there as the demand for VHS players

It's doubtful that there is any LCN related activity currently going on in Dallas. If anything I would imagine the Mexican Mafia is the major power out there.

but isn't that exactly what a secret Italian criminal society would want an outsider to think?

Obviously, but you gotta remember it's 2014 and if they were involved in enough rackets to be considered a viable organization they would have popped up on the radar of the local authorities or the Feds by now.

Logically you are correct. And I like chances. And chances tell me you are 95 percent correct. Lol I just like to think about that other 5 percent chance that there is a organized set of Italian mobsters still running around in the Texas heat lol

Good point on the cartels from mexico setting up shop there. They could deal w some dallas mobsters possibly to set up areas to distribute their product from mexico

Idk Cartels are Cartels lol even at their strongest i dont think dallas would of ever been much threat to them or much use except for in maybe very Italian areas or with local police.

Cartels wage war with Mexican soldiers and Genovese soldiers in New York take bets and whack each other. Whole different ballgame

They don't exactly need the mob to do that. Mexikanemi, Texas Syndicate, Hermandad de Pistoleros Latinos, Aryan Brotherhood and Bandidos MC all have a presence in Dallas and have all been in business with Mexican cartels for a reasonable time now

Good points. And all joking aside I too believe the Dallas LCN is defunct. Whoever is controlling the drugs and crime in Texas doesn't matter anyway cause that stuff they got don't compare to B.C Bud ;p

The Dallas crime family is no more. The only member left is Carlo Campisi Jr. Vincent D'Ingianni was a made man based in Houston, but he passed away sometime in the 2000's, rumor is he invested some money in the New Orleans-Gambino crime families bust in the 90's. Louis Marino who was based in Galveston is said to be a made, as well as Luke Saporita who was based in Houston, but I believe both were only associates. They both passed around the same time as Salvatore LoMonaco in the late 1990's.

That family was dying by the start of the 1980's, though most will say with the death of Joseph Civello in 1970. The final nail in the coffin was the death of Joseph "Papa Joe" Campisi in 1990. After that the only members left were Carlo Jr, and John Camprisi both sons of Carlo Sr. Joseph "J.D." Campisi, Vincent D'Ingianni, Vito Giordanello of Houston, Carl Labarba,Salvatore LoMonaco, and Angelo Piranio.

Many people include Victor Maddi who passed away in 94' to the Dallas crime family, but some people say he was with New Orleans. He was made, unsure to which family.

The Campisi sons are not involved. They make plenty of money from the legit businesses

You sure about that mulberry? Charles Civello did propose one of Joe's sons to be made in 1980 to replace Salvatore Civello who died in 79'. The Campisi's were well off with their legit businesses and Joe Colleta and Paul Saterino were against it, but Joe Campisi made one of his sons, as well as a nephew. Joe was the boss at this time, he could do anything he wanted. Joe Campisi was against his grandchildern being involved in the life, that much is clear.

they are involved in business's built off of blood, sweat and criminal proceeds

I assume you're trolling Primo, no other explanation.

Well you have convinced me with your very thorough and concise argument.

I can't decide which was more epic trolling. Was it when I stated I know nothing and everything I said was speculation? Or was it when I asked fair and honest questions in he hope of generating a generally lively and open discussion with fellow LCN interested folks.

But nonetheless you are an astute and clever individual. And I look forward to seeing what other trolls you can sniff out.

Considering you think there's a small chance a family that has been defunct for decades has been flying under the radar and bringing over zips makes you retarded or a troll.

Forgive me for my late reply. You can imagine the shock I am feeling after learning all these years later that I am legitimately a mentally retarded person.

No one in my family ever noticed the signs and my doctor never diagnosed it. I did decent in school and I guess it just slipped by people.

But thank you for making it known to me. Who knew it would it would would take a thread on a mob family I have already admitted is most likely defunct based on my very humble opinion to let me see myself for who I really am.

I am eternally grateful

The Dallas family is done,in this site there all the soldier that the dallas family have.

http://mafiamembershipcharts.blogspot.it/search/label/Texas

Carlo "Corky" Campisi Jr b.1948 is the only made man left.

So if they ever want to start a new family, do they just email that site and give them a list of new members? How does it work exactly? Are their new registration fees new families must pay before they are recognized as viable by men from Naples who haven never stepped one foot in Texas?

Please enlighten me

Considering you think magical zips could be in the Dallas family then yes, that's the first indication that there's something wrong with you.

Well Mr bambino. I am from Texas and have visited the areas in it all y zips come from. You might not no this all the way in sunny England, but Texas has a lot to offer in terms of opportunities weather, and cost of living. And for an enterprising group of cosa costra zips it could offer very many lucrative money making Ventures. Not mention the close proximity to the gulf of Mexico and the shipping NH lanes and all the drug flow from central and south America.

No you are right. No criminal would ever want to leave Sicily to go to somewhere with comparable weather, good looking women, cheap cost living compared to Europe And access to money.

Yea pssh mafia in Dallas. Like that would ever happen

Firstis more likely that the Ndrangheta do business in texas, that the dallas family made a come back, and Limsey that made the chart, also writes on Real Ddeal forum and he definitely has sought the sources, and not your magic zips that went in texas because it has a climate similar to sicily.

Yes my only reason that Zips would want to move to Dallas to be in the mafia family there if it still existed was for the WEATHER. That was the only reason I stated and I offered no other excuse for why it could happen if by chance it had. No no I made no mention of drug routes, cost of living, etc.

Only the weather I made mention of. You sir are a scholar and a gentleman.
