HB 12, the sweeping Parks Reform Bill was amended on the House Floor to include the Pre-Amendment wording of HB 2414.

"SECTION 44. Subchapter A, Chapter 62, Parks and Wildlife Code, is amended by adding Section 62.0031 to read as follows:
Sec. 62.0031. HUNTING FROM PUBLIC ROAD OR RIGHT-OF-WAY PROHIBITED. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), a person may not hunt a wild animal or bird when the person is on a public road or right-of-way.
(b) This section does not apply to the trapping of a raptor for educational or sporting purposes as provided by Chapter 49."

HB 12 has already passed both the House and the Senate. It will surely be signed by the Governor. I'm pretty sure from my reading of HB 12 that it will pass effective immediately.

I have yet to determine who added the amendment to the bill.

So, if TPWD wants to enforce it, we'll be illegal this year.
