(This is also posted to the general turtle forum - apologies for cross-posting.)
The Box Turtle Partnership of Texas now has a petition online that you can sign to support the protection of Texas box turtles from commercial exploitation. Please visit the link below to sign:
http://www.petitiononline.com/btpt/petition.html
Please also consider writing a letter, which is more trouble but also more powerful than a petition signature. See more info at: www.cricket-frog.com
The Box Turtle Partnership of Texas includes the DFW Herpetological Society, the Austin Herpetological Society, the Gulf Coast Turtle & Tortoise Society, and a number of small businesses and Dr. Jim Koukl of UT Tyler. We appreciate everyone's involvement.
Thanks!
