Local law enforcement might receive an estimated half-million dollars to fight border crimes that spill into Texas.

The money would flow from Operation Border Star, a state Homeland Security program created 16 months ago to fund extra officers on the streets.

In 2007, the Texas Legislature allocated $110 million for border security; about $400,000 trickled to Victoria's local law enforcement.

A similar amount is expected again after this legislative season.
