the 10 of one species/25 in aggregate only applies to those species which TX continues to monitor - and alterna is not one of those species (only rattlesnakes, the sliders, box turtles, and a few lizards that are collected in large numbers by a single El Paso collector). For those listed species, you have to continue to have nongame collector permits and file annual reports (IF you collect/possess more than the above numbers) but for most species (e.g. alterna, subocs, bairdi, etc) you can have as many as you want, with no permit necessary (save your hunting license) and no reports to file.

If you want to keep lepidus, and you have fewer than 10, you're fine . . . but if you sell one (or have more than 10), you have to file reports and have a permit.
