Just why? I have a couple friends who work for the TPWD and have had plenty of dealings with them. Always found them to be professional and one of the better run state game agencies. Not sure what's the actual end goal here but don't think it'll be beneficial to Texans or Texas wildlife.
 
Ax-grinding.

"In one of the more brazen acts of the 2025 Texas legislative session, a lawmaker who breeds high-fence deer has introduced a law to abolish the state fish-and-game agency that also helps regulate the breeding of high-fence deer.

"Texas Rep. Pat Curry (R-Waco) says his proposed legislation is an attempt to reform and improve the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, an agency that he claims has “lost its way.” It’s one of several bills filed in the Texas legislature that seeks to overhaul the state’s management of Chronic Wasting Disease and appears to be written explicitly for the Texas deer breeding industry."

I agree with you about it being one of the better run game agencies. Then again, I don't raise pet deer.
