Hello all,

Your help is greatly appreciated. We need to get TX H.B. 1500 (Relating to certain exceptions to the prohibition on hunting from a public road or right-of-way) passed into law.



You can read the text of the bill here:

www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81R/billtext/pdf/HB01500I.pdf



TX H.B. 1500 has been referred to the House Committee on Culture, Recreation, & Tourism. www.house.state.tx.us/committees/list81/430.htm



Right now what we need to do is call, e-mail, or fax each member and register strong support for TX H.B. 1500.



Please be friendly, courteous, and polite. Leave the receptionist your name, address, and phone number, along with your strong support for passing TX H.B. 1500 into law.



Out of State residents are welcome to log support for this bill! Let the receptionists know that you spend your Recreation and Tourism dollars in Texas and this bill directly effects those expenditures.

I will offer more advice and instructions on how to proceed as the time comes. Right now this is just one step in a multi-step process.



Please note that getting a bill introduced is a very small victory and NO cause for celebration or patting ourselves on the back. What it does represent is the time for the real work to begin.
