ALL WARDENS NOW GIVEN ORDER TO CITE...

Spoke to Robert McDonald today, head Regulations Coordinator, TPWD. He has given permission to me to pass this info along.
All wardens were given order within last few days to cite herpers along roadways who are looking for snakes, herps. Fines will be misdemeanor as before. If you are there get ready to be searched if pulled over. Mr. McDonald suggested finding private land on which to hunt. Some miscommunication has occurred recently about dates- changes to nongame stuff( box turtles,etc.) will be taking place Sept. 1. This part of hb 12 is effective immediately according to the Regulations Coordinator.

The only exclusion that will be given for anyone wishing to shine cuts will be for those in possession of a scientific breeder permit with that particular taxa listed on the permit itself (lots of paperwork!)

Our only hope may be for those wardens who decide to be lenient?

I guess I'll have to find private land to hunt for my vacation in July!

Please consult with a qualified attorney to determine whether there's any case for injunctive relief? I will gladly pony up $500. How's that, better??

Inverts are not covered by sect 44 of this bill. Still leagl to pull off roadway and hunt for them on cuts. Clark
