That's correct I don't live in TX. I do have land there which I might retire on, or build a vacation home on.
I'm not being sarcastic here, can you point to any political or legislative actions taken or attempted by HCU that would have hurt the herp hobby or that you would have disagreed with? As far as I know the only legislation HCU has put forth is a sentence that would have ammended the road ban so that the collection of reptiles, amphibians, arachnids and insects would be excluded from it. There is not much there to disagree with IMHO. None of this other stuff, ie pushing the white list, restricting commercial collection and banning the collection and breeding of box turtles has actually materialized from HCU. So far it's all just been rumor and conjecture that at some indeterminate time in the future those things might take place. But it's been quite a long time since HCU formed and so far those things have not ever been proposed by HCU. The only things that I know of HCU actually wanting to limit or ban are some types of turtle traps and the gassing of rattlesnake dens.
I'm not saying this describes you personally but I don't think it's fair nor productive to put down HCU for "only caring about the roadban". The roadban is a significant issue and nobody else is doing near as much as HCU is about it. I have been hunting TX roads for 14 years and it's a huge part of my life. Qiute a few other herpers feel the same way. Who else can we turn to to overturn it? ----- www.hcu-tx.org/
