I used to live in Alice which is just outside of Corpus so I knew about this law. The real problem here is that the animals were snakes and a lot of people in Texas really hate snakes. If this had been a Javelina (collared pecarry for non-Texans) which is illegal to keep as pet Statewide, people would be gathered outside the Animal control offices with torches and pitchforks. That's just about what happened with a Javelina named bubba in Flour bluff when I was in High school. Like I said though a lot of people in Texas really hate snakes (present company on this forum obviously an exception.) of course if I had been this guy and HAD to live inside the city limits (I hate living in cities and will never ever again live in one) I would have kept my mouth shut about what I had for pets.
