Help Texas and HCU Pass HB1500 Today!
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
House Bill 1500 which was filed by State Representative Tracy King and co-authored by State Representative Joe Farias on behalf of Herp Conservation Unlimited (H.C.U.) and all persons involved in herpetology in Texas is scheduled for a hearing before the House Culture, Recreation, & Tourism Committee at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, March 10, 2009.
This Bill if passed would regain some of the rights of Herpers lost in the last Texas Legislative Session. It would repeal the statute in regards to Road Cruising and make that practice a legal one in Texas once again.
Even if you are not going to be a speaker , we still need you there to show support for this bill and to register as being in favor of it. If there is anyway at all that you can get away to attend this very important hearing, please do so. Please pass this information along to everyone that you know who has an interest in the herpetology of Texas. It is vital that we fill that hearing room with as many supporters of H.B. 1500 as possible. Please spread the word.
The hearing will be held at the Capitol in Austin. Below is a link which contains the Room # at the Capitol and the Committee's agenda for that day:
