We just need to find out how many signatures it would require to get the job done.

More and more I think we need to have an attorney look into things for us.

but don't jump the gun on the petition.
We need more information first. I'm working on it.

why are you concentrating on safety issues? They would seem to me to be a minor factor. Why not attack it on the basis of being just plain WRONG and an abridgement of rights?

Please read my posts below. Then, you'll know I could care less about safety-lol.

>>why are you concentrating on safety issues? They would seem to me to be a minor factor.

I've spent enough time roaming around west Texas to state as FACT that HB12 will KILL at least one of us if remains law and forces us into the wilds of west Texas.

one is safety and the other is commercial collecting.

I, like most here do not need or support commercial collecting. The safety thing is going to be easier to dispel with a stack of testimonials compared to 0 data.

The commercial thing we will have to address by conceding to some guidelines that put it to rest.

maybe not.... they refuse to even address rattlesnake roundups. commercial collecting discussions will start and end with Rattlesnake roundups unless they want to get serious, otherwise I'm pursuing those in TP&W that lobbied for this legislation from an official state capacity.

in the positions they offer... Lets help it sink soon...
