You can search for herps all day and night on Texas public roads. You can do so with herps in your vehicle. You can do it with herping equipment in your vehicle. You can "rescue" herps about to be hit by cars and safely release them in the adjacent habitat (according to TPWD's David Sinclair). You can collect invertebrates, cans, rocks, trash and observe wildlife from the road. You can fly your raptors on the road right of way. You can photograph herps found on the road. You can pick up dead herps off the road (according to TPWD's David Sinclair). You are just not allowed to catch and keep live herps found on the road or right of way. And they have to see you doing just that to cite you. You do not have to show documentation of permission to be on private land. You do not have to say or do anything. It is not guilty until proved innocent. The burden of proof is on them. No your rights!
