[Ansteorra] Fw: HB 461 Unanimously Approved by Committee

[Dave Wise]

Briefly, there was legislation passed in Texas that required 
registration of all livestock in the state, imposing civil and criminal 
penalties for failure to do so.  Under the existing legislation it could 
have required you to notify a state official every time you take your 
horse out your front gate for a trail ride, or face sanctions.  HB 461 
is intended to repeal that legislation, and therefore is near and dear 
to the equestrian community.
