In Hoppy Serves a Writ, he was sheriff of a county in Texas, and rustlers had escaped into Oklahoma Territory, out of his jurisdiction. So he went to Oklahoma and worked undercover, posing as a gambler as part of a plan to trick them into returning to Texas.

Give 'em hell, Hopalong
Rip-Snortin' & Spine-Tinglin'! But since when was Hoppy a sheriff?
He must have been a sheriff or a deputy in "Hoppy Serves a Writ" (1943).
I seem to remember a movie in which he was a lawman working undercover.

IIRC, there was a B movie called Santa Fe Marshal (or maybe Marshal of Santa Fe), where Hoppy was an undercover federal law officer.
