Texas authorities issued a bulletin to law enforcement agencies earlier this month warning of increasing violence between two motorcycle gangs.

The May 1 bulletin obtained by Dallas television station WFAA (http://bit.ly/1HqTbze ) says there had been skirmishes and talk of war between the Bandidos and Cossacks for months.

Nine gang members were killed Sunday when a melee broke out at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco.

The bulletin was issued by the Texas Joint Information Center run by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It said the conflict might stem from Cossacks refusing to pay Bandidos dues for operating in Texas and for wearing the Texas patch on their vests without the Bandidos' approval.

Department of Texas spokesman Tom Vinger would not confirm or deny the authenticity of the bulletin, citing agency policy.

1. A review of the Twin Peaks restaurant

I was so sad that Sons of Anarchy ended, but so excited that Twin Peaks supported an environment that allows us to really experience the violence of gangs. I mean, Waco is now the real world Charming! How cool!!! And they were able to endanger their employees (and their breasts), bystanders, other guests, all while making some extra money before the church crowd comes for dinner.
