Texas Outreach May 11, 2015 To subscribe: Email rpoa@texas.net To donate: www.rpoatexasoutreach.org We're in crunch time at our Texas Legislative Session. Deadlines are set for all bill movement and there is a frenzy among legislators to get their bills passed. So time is of the essence for today and tomorrow (Monday and Tuesday). Bills must be out of Calendars Committee and set for a Floor Vote by Tuesday we're told or they are officially dead. So if you haven't contacted the Calendars Committee members below, please do so "for animals' sake!" OPPOSE BOTH BILLS. Contact all below and your personal House representative who can be found at www.capitol.state.tx.us with a search box in lower right corner of home page. You can email your personal representative from their home page. PLACE "OPPOSE HB 234 (ANIMAL CRUELTY APPEAL COST) AND HB 2562 (OUTDOOR DOGS)" IN THE SUBJECT LINE! Copy and paste all below as message: HB 234 is written to make an appeal of animal cruelty cases even more cost prohibitive than existing law. Not all animal cruelty cases are meritorious and are reversed on appeal sometimes. HB 2562, Care of all Outdoor Dogs in addition to Tethering Regulations: Being promoted "dishonestly" as a "Tethering Law" when in truth it regulates ALL outdoor dogs and will outlaw most existing dog houses, etc. This bill is opposed by the following organizations and their Texas affiliated clubs: American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, US Sportsmen's Alliance, Endangered Breed Association, American Dog Breeders Association, Texas Dog Commission, Sportsmen's and Animal Owners Voting Alliance, and our organization Responsible Pet Owners Alliance Texas Outreach. American Kennel Club alone has 305 licensed kennel and breed clubs in Texas (with even more UKC clubs), and RPOA is the AKC state federation for Texas, representing 305 AKC clubs in Texas. 2015 House Calendars Committee Todd Hunter, Corpus (512) 463-0672 Fax: 512 463 2101 (does not want emails) http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/member-page/?district=32 Eddie Lucio, iii, Brownsville (512) 463-0606 Ruben.obell@house.state.tx.us Houston.tower@house.state.tx.us Roberto Alonzo, Dallas (512) 463-0408 Deborah.alemu@house.state.tx.us Byron Cook, Rep, Corsicana (512) 463-0730 Toni.barcellona@house.state.tx.us Sarah Davis, Houston (512) 463-0389 Brigette.dechant@house.state.tx.us Charlie Geren, River Oaks (512) 463-0610 http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/member-page/?district=99 Helen Giddings, Desoto (512) 463-0953 Neo.baepi@house.state.tx.us Patricia Harless, Spring (512) 463-0496 Julie.scott@house.state.tx.us Dan Huberty, Kingwood (512) 463-0520 Casey.christman@house.state.tx.us Ben.melson@house.state.tx.us Eric Johnson, Dallas (512) 463-0586 Renee.hollingsworth-hartley@house.state.tx.us Ken King, Panhandle (512) 463-0736 Megan.Quijano@house.state.tx.us Lyle Larson, San Antonio (512) 463-0646 District122.larson@house.state.tx.us lyle.larson@house.state.tx.us Four Price, Amarillo (512) 463-0470 Four.price@house.state.tx.us (preferred email) Hal.talton@house.state.tx.us Debbie Riddle, Spring (512) 463-0572 Justin.wolf@house.state.tx.us Eddie Rodriguez, Austin (512) 463-0674 Deisy.jaimes@house.state.tx.us Thanks for caring!

May 23, 2015 To subscribe: Email rpoa@texas.net To donate/PayPal: www.rpoatexasoutreach.org We can't be sure that Texas HB 2562, the bill regulating ALL "outdoor unattended" dogs (not only tethered dogs) is dead until the Texas legislators leave the Capitol and return home June 1st! Rules can be suspended to enable legislators to do most anything they wish at the last minute and bills can be "attached" to similar bills still in the pipeline. Daily activities must be monitored closely. But our success to date is the result of a coalition of local, state and national animal organizations working together to preserve our historic relationship with animals. The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance played a major role in our success to date and we look forward to working together in the future. We all know the "vegan, anti-hunting, anti-pet ownership vigilantes" will be back next session, but we'll be ready for them! ............................................................................ ....................... http://www.ussportsmen.org/news/texas-sportsmen-defeat-dog-bill/ Texas Sportsmen Defeat Dog Bill Posted on May 18, 2015 Texas legislation proposing onerous new requirements on dogs left outdoors failed to meet a House deadline to receive floor action by midnight Thursday, May 14 and is now dead. The legislation, House Bill 2562, sparked intense opposition from sportsmen and dog owners across Texas. "Texas sportsmen and dog owners did a great job of rallying opposition to derail this legislation before it could be snuck through by the animal rights lobby," said Adam Wright, USSA associate director of state services. "While this is a great victory, it is important to continue to remain vigilant and ensure that this proposal isn't added on to another bill as an amendment at the last minute." The Texas legislature will adjourn for the session on June 1.
