How did things get so far in Texas? With all the Herp Societies and breeders I would think that you could have some kind of influence in the state legislature. Louisiana has faced some unwanted laws in the past few years but we were able to defeat them with only a few enthusiastic members of a local Herp Society. With the help of term limits this past year, the nemesis for reptile activities in the State Legislature was unable to run again. Because there was going to be a 60% change in the State Legislature, The Exotic Pet Owners Association spent a lot of time interviewing candidates for the House & Senate and encouraged other folks state wide to do the same. We now have some legislators that are sensitive to our issues and will protect individual rights. Hopefully our major battles are over. ~Bill Watts~ EPOA Executive Director
