Temple Drive Families

Overview

The Temple Drive Families are a set of the Families based in Temple, Los Santos, which split from Grove Street before the story begins.

History

When CJ returns in 1992 he passes through Temple, which used to be friendly territory, and finds it held by a hostile set. The Temple Drive Families illustrate how badly the Families have fragmented.

The split weakened the Families and made it easier for the Ballas to push crack into their neighbourhoods.

Territory

They are based in Temple, north of Downtown Los Santos.

Leadership and members

No leader or individual members are named.

Role in the story

Their main role comes in Reuniting the Families. Sweet arranges a meeting at the Jefferson Motel between Grove Street, Seville Boulevard and Temple Drive to end the infighting and the crack trade. The meeting is raided by the police and SWAT, and CJ, Sweet, Smoke and Ryder escape after a chase.

Relations with other gangs

They start as rivals of Grove Street, are briefly brought into an alliance and are enemies of the Ballas.
