Advancing humane laws for Texas animals.

Protecting Communities from Illegal Enterprises & Rural Strain. Sophisticated criminal groups are increasingly utilizing Texas's vast rural landscapes to host illegal dogfights and cockfights. These are not isolated incidents of cruelty; they are organized criminal hubs that bypass state biosecurity protocols, host illicit gambling, and bring narcotics into quiet, under-resourced communities. This bill strengthens the Texas Penal Code to give rural law enforcement the tools they need to protect their communities. Authors: Senator Hall, Representatives Anchia & Shofner.

Protecting Texas Families and Market Integrity. Texas retail pet stores utilize high-volume, out-of-state supply chains to flood the Texas market with defective inventory. These puppies and kittens bypass biosecurity standards, importing zoonotic diseases that threaten both public health and the integrity of the local pet industry. Further, Texan families are trapped in predatory, high-interest lending schemes—often exceeding 100% APR—for a 'product' that is biologically compromised from the point of sale. Authors: Senators Hagenbuch, Kolkhorst, Parker.
