- Gambler V: Playing for Keeps (TV Movie, 1994)
- At the end of Gambler V: Playing for Keeps, the Terlingua Ghost Town was used to represent the Mexican outpost to where the Wild Bunch escaped. Fearing for their lives with an army encroaching upon them, Etta Place (Mariska Hargitay), Brady Hawkes (Kenny Rogers), and his son leave the ruins and head to safety in the United States, while Butch Cassidy (Scott Paulin) and the Sundance Kid (Brett Cullen) stay behind to make one last stand as outlaws.
- Streets of Laredo (TV Mini-Series, 1995)
- Captain Woodrow Call, now retired from the Rangers, is a bounty hunter. He is hired by an eastern rail baron to track down Joey Garza, a new kind of killer, only a boy, who kills from a distance with a rifle. Joined by his old compadre Pea Eye, it is a long ride to south Texas and the Mexican side of the border, where the past, in the form of Maria Garza, Joey's mother, haunts Call.
