jdt, since you are out of state, about all you can do is to give these reps that are thinking about sponsoring the bill a call, let them know that you are interested and want to see how this turns out. Let them know that this is getting some national attention, and if possible get any dog organizations you know of to do the same.
It may be possible for Texas to set a precident here that could catch on in other states. I certainly hope so.
This would be a great help!! It will let the 5 Representatives know that working dog owners in other states are watching and interested in moving with a Bill like this in their own state.
The 5 Reps that are looking at this Bill proposal are:
Jimmie Don Aycoc k
James White
Ryan Guillen
Leo Burman
Cindy Burkett
