TPWD Game Warden Field Notes
The following are excerpts from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.
Baby 'gators -- Recently, a tip led a Nueces County game warden to assist with a drug raid at a home in Corpus Christi. The warden was called because the two suspects at the home were in possession of 12 baby alligators, in addition to the drugs found. One person admitted to buying the alligators in Louisiana and intended to keep them as pets. The warden filed two charges on the person and the alligators were taken to the Texas State Aquarium for safekeeping.
Time for an Update -- Recently, an Orange County game warden was patrolling an area for deer hunting violations because trespassing complaints had been received. He saw two trucks parked on the roadside, so he waited. At dark, he saw two men with their guns pointed at his truck in the tree line, so he approached them. He asked if they knew who owned the property they were on and they stated that about 20 years ago, they had permission to hunt the land. Information was taken and appropriate charges will be filed.
