Dear Valued Ranch Wireless Customers,

It is with heavy hearts that we write these words. As of April 1, 2018, Ranch Wireless, Inc. will no longer stand alone.VTX1 Companies, a well-established service provider headquartered in Raymondville, Texas, will be the new owner, and even though we could not wish our wonderful customers anyone nicer to work with (and vice versa), it will be very difficult for us to close this chapter of our lives. This marks our 20th year in the business, and we have countless treasured memories to show for it, as well as many special friendships that we would not otherwise have experienced.

Please be assured that with the new ownership, nothing else will change — same location and same employees.

Looking forward, we do see great things for this company that started out as a 2-way radio shop and blossomed with the help and expertise of so many friends and family members. To Don and Grace McFarland, from whom we purchased the company back in July 1998, thank you for the faith you had in us to succeed and your help in getting us started. In addition, we would be remiss not to mention that without our parents’ encouragement and backing, and that all-important initial loan from Shawna’s late father, we would not have been able to achieve what we have today — providing internet service to you, our customers, in the rural areas where you live and work.

Finally, in closing, we’d like to give a special shout out to our current employees — we are Ranch Wireless because of you and how you conduct yourselves. Thanks for your integrity and fortitude to keep it going no matter what, and to always remember that the “customer comes first.”

With gratitude,

Allen and Shawna Pooley
