One was the story's BigBad, the other was the BigBad's father...who used the fact ''he'' was the one with all the money in town to defang his son and force the local sheriff and judge to actually apply the law (thus ending the story's conflict in the heroes' favour, clearing Kit from a charge of murder and relative death sentence in the process). [[DidntSeeThatComing Nobody had expected this]], more out of him being a cripple (who allowed the son to do what he wanted for so long in the first place) than not knowing he had morals.

* TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Tex actually didn't mean to start getting into adventures, and tried to retire twice... But every time trouble came to him:
** He initially aimed for a career as a rodeo rider, but when his brother was murdered he [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge killed the entire gang responsible for it]]... Except for the crooked sheriff that was a part of it, who framed him for murder and turned him into an outlaw.
** Tex eventually cleared his name, and with his old friends Rod Vergil and "Damned" Dick decided to start raising cattle. Then as they were bringing a herd to Wichita, in Kansas, the Civil War started, Vergil decided to sell his part early to enroll in the Texas militia, and while Tex and Dick just wanted to sell their cattle and get away from the war the buyer sent the militia to try and force them to sell him the herd at a pittance, starting a chain of events that resulted in Tex and Dick enrolling in the Kentucky militia with the Union.
** Right after marrying Lilyth Tex decided to live in the Navajo reservation with her and her father Red Cloud... Then Teller and Brennan, two businessmen Tex had got arrested, tried to take their revenge by causing a ''smallpox outbreak'' among the Navajo to kill him, with Lilyth as one of the victims. Tex has returned to adventures since then, even if he always returns to the Navajo reservation.
