Can they go after it? See Section 3372 (a)(2)(A) below.



§ 3372. Prohibited acts



(a) Offenses other than marking offenses



It is unlawful for any person--



(1) to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase any fish or wildlife or plant taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any law, treaty, or regulation of the United States or in violation of any Indian tribal law;



(2) to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire, or purchase in interstate or foreign commerce--



(A) any fish or wildlife taken, possessed, transported, or sold in violation of any law or regulation of any State or in violation of any foreign law;



Will they go after it? HIGHLY doubtful, especially since alterna is not protected, or endangered, or threatened, or anywhere near preservation status. Besides, hopefully this particular violation of state law is going to be relatively short-lived; a very sad blip in the history of Texas herpetology. Just stay on your toes...
