There is a law against the sale of turtles under a certain size.
But then that doesn't really matter here in Texas now since they have said those of use with box turtles can't sale anything at all.
I feel a low bag limit or even a speciel permit per county to collect a low bag limit is sustainable.
If any county was then not in good shape for collection they could just not issue any permits for that county.
The permit could be done so we pay a processing fee that is none refundable even if you do not get it. It should be issued based on the ability of the person to keep that species. The money gathered could be used to regulate and maybe even set aside protected habitat for that species. There would be money from processing fees and then if the permit is issued a permit fee is paid for by the person that gets it. Eric
