Good stuff rb, thanks for that.

I dunno dh WildBill's link is pretty clear, and other stuff on that site is recent.

I did not have an easy time finding our Game Warden, who appears to be two Area Codes away from us, so it seems the Sheriff is closer. I'm going to put their numbers into my cell phone...

We have CC&Rs against shooting also, a relatively small development <400 acres for about 10 tractowners, but everyone here shoots nuisance animals and no one thinks anything of it. No one of my neighbors would argue putting-down a suffering critter either, though I don't know what the Sheriff or GW would think about it. It sure looks like you could get into trouble if you used your weapon on the side-of-the-road. And while it seems prudent to always call the Sheriff to make a report first, well I don't always know where I am in TX either! To find the Sheriff that is.
