It's not illegal to road cruise, it's illegal to road hunt. That's an important distinction, and I am curious to see how much hassle I receive merely taking photographs of herps in TX this summer.
I (and I assume, you) would like to be able to collect certain species from the road/right-of-way (including cuts), or salvage DORs for university collections, or simply move turtles off the road and out of harm's way. A good way to help is to join Herp Conservation Unlimited--we're gearing up for action leading up to and during the next state legislative session. ----- Chris McMartin
