In 1781, Spanish government officials granted José Salvador de la Garza 59 leagues of land (408.243 square miles). He used the land to construct a ranch several miles northwest of the area. During the early 1800s, Brownsville was known to residents as los tejidos (English: "pasturelands"). The area was inhabited by a few settlers around 1836 when Texas declared its independence from Mexico. On February 4, 1846, President James K. Polk instructed American General Zachary Taylor and his troops to begin moving south towards Brownsville. Once Taylor arrived, he built Fort Texas. It was later renamed Fort Brown in honor of Major Jacob Brown, one of two deceased soldiers during the Siege of Fort Texas.

Choosing the Right Drug Testing Panel

Drug panel screenings vary, identified by panel numbers like 5, 10, or 12-panel drug tests, indicating the count of substances screened. Customizable options are also available.

Defining a Drug Test

A drug test involves the analysis of biological specimens—urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or oral fluids—to identify traces of drugs or their metabolites. Applications include detecting steroids in sports, screening by employers or legal authorities, and measuring blood alcohol content (BAC) via breathalyzer, a prevalent method in workplace and sport environments. Alternative methods exist with varying precision and detection thresholds. Drug testing can also entail analyzing illegal substances chemically to support responsible use.

Can Passive Smoke Lead to a Marijuana Test False Positive?

Exposure to passive marijuana smoke does not typically result in false positives, as analytical cut-off levels exceed amounts expected from indirect inhalation.

Anomalies in urine tests, however, may suggest potential false negatives or intentional sample alteration:

  • Low creatinine levels might imply tampering—either through excessive hydration before testing or dilution afterwards.
  • Both creatinine concentration and specific gravity measurements ascertain sample dilution. Testing centers may dye toilet water to prevent such tampering.
  • Attempts to stabilize samples using enzymes might alter pH levels, which are also checked.

Drug Retention Duration in Your System

Drug residue detection windows may vary based on multiple factors:

  • Amount consumed
  • Frequency of use
  • Drug type
  • Metabolic rate and health
  • Fluid intake post-ingestion
  • Physical activity post-ingestion
  • Genetic factors affecting drug response

Brownsville is a city in Cameron County in the U.S. state of Texas. It located on the western Gulf Coast in South Texas, adjacent to the border with Matamoros, Mexico.

The city was founded in 1848 by American entrepreneur Charles Stillman after he developed a successful river boat company nearby. It was named after Major Jacob Brown, who fought and died while serving as a U.S. Army soldier during the Mexican–American War (1846–48). As the city is the seat of government for the county of Cameron, the city and county government are major employers. Other primary employers fall within the service, trade and manufacturing industries, including a growing aerospace and space transportation sector. It operates international trading through the Port of Brownsville. The city experienced a population increase in the early 1900s when steel production flourished. Brownsville is frequently cited as having one of the highest poverty rates in the United States.

Due to significant historical events, the city has multiple houses and battle sites listed under the National Register of Historic Places. It was the scene of several key events of the American Civil War, such as the Battle of Brownsville and the Battle of Palmito Ranch. The city was also involved in the Texas Revolution as well as the Mexican–American War. Brownsville's idiosyncratic geographic location has made it a wildlife refuge center. Several state parks and historical sites are protected by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
