Kevin,
To be honest, no one knows exactly how or why this law came to be. I have heard a lot of theories but I don't know what the originators intended. From what I have read of the meeting transcripts from this year, snake hunters weren't the intended targets.
As for public lands, there are no herping-accessible public lands in West Texas. All of the land is either private, National Parks, State Parks, National Recreation Areas, or Wildlife Management Areas. Herping is not allowed on any of this land without special permission so the only land left was roads and right of ways.
