Pet rent is ridiculous rent is already sky high and now it makes things even harder and forces people who let go of their beloved pets and creates more of an issue for animal shelters due to pet rent 1000s of dogs a year are put down because shelters are over ran. Families are already struggling to make ends meet and pet rent on top of paying a deposit is just greedy and unjustified. It shouldn't be allowed renters already deal with 80% of landlords being slum lords we shouldn't have to work to death just to have a roof over our heads and keep our fur babies.
This is ridiculous I have followed Texas Parks and Wildlife my whole life. Would watch their TV shows in the 1970's with my Grandparents who have long ago passed away. Preserve a Texas legacy that is enjoyed by young and old people of Texas for as long as I can remember.
Texas Parks are our happy place to escape to and refresh. Abolishing TWPD will take them away from the people and make them vulnerable to exploitation and ruin.
TX Parks are what make our state great. Our abundant natural resources in TX must be sustained, conserved, and allowed to flourish - and that's what TXPWD does. Current and future generations depend on these outdoor third spaces for mental health and overall well-being - to learn and explore the natural world that we live, work, and play in. I, as a lifelong Texan, have always felt passionate about our forests, prairies, waterways, and native plants/animals, and I am so thankful for the programs in place through the TX PWD that allow me and my loved ones to learn about and experience the wonderful things of nature in our state. The dedicated people of TX Parks and Wildlife exemplify stewardship and leadership of nature. They ensure that our state's natural beauty and its diverse ecosystems are protected from harm. TXPWD must be protected at all costs - for every Texan's right to enjoy the natural beauty and abundance of our state!
State parks are where we all grew up and I want to pass that on to my kids and grandkids. The only vacations you can take were phones don’t get in the way.
As a annual pass holder for more years than I can remember I cannot imagine a world without TPWD I have had the privilege of many camping trips ,fishing trips I have also enjoyed walking and riding many of the trails the parks have to offer please leave this department alone
My family has enjoyed the Texas Parks & Wildlife state parks for four generations having enjoyed countless family vacation getaways. As a BSA scouting leader, I know it has served as a gem for countless outdoor camp activities, settings for outdoor skills training and high adventure for many thousands of youth. The Texas Parks & Wildlife state system serves as a last vestage protected wildlife lands where one can experience being one with nature. Let’s not allow this gem of people of Texas that took so long to build, maintain and protect to be lost to the political and financial greed machine, of the few, robbing the people of Texas of this amazing treasure which in many cases are lands that gifted and donated with a trust that thier lands would be enjoyed by the people of Texas. Let us stand strong united together to oppose HB-4938 and SAVE TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE department.
TPWD protects our land for the people. Leave our parks alone! My family has been camping and hiking state parks for generations. The parks are also here to show others the beauty of our state. I support the TPWD!!!
We have raised our children camping in Texas State Parks, they are treasures that must be maintained! Our state parks provide necessary habitat for wildlife, tremendous ecosystems, great natural activities for families and are truly some of the last unspoiled areas of our great state.
