Jim James Slade born in Mississippi around 1926

I have been searching for my mother's biological father's Slade family unsuccessfully for several years. Jim James Slade married Margaret Elouise (wagstaff) Tindal / Tindol originally from Shelby County Center Texas while they were living in Houston Tx before they had my mother Delilah Cathrine Slade on May 22nd 1950 Harris County Houston Texas. It say's on my mother's birth certificate that Jim James Slade was a "Patrolman" as his profession in 1950 at the time of my mother's birth. Also I was told Jim and Margaret divorced before my mother was age 3 years old. I cannot find the divorce record. The marriage record is a snippet of information showing the judge's name who married them at the justice of the piece I believe in 1948. I know Jim James Slade passed away during the early to mid 1980's. After he passed away a man sought out my mother and gave her some sort of inheritance check for ex amount of money. I did not see or speak to the man who visited. My mother said the man told her that Jim James Slade had been a long time friend of his and that he had been doing undercover detective work in a hotel when something went wrong and he was shot and murdered. How much of this story was fact I cannot not say. That was all mother repeated that the man told her on that day he came. I also recall it mentioned that Jim James Slades mother's married or maiden name was Hit or Hitt. Anyone with any helpful information would gladly appreciated.
