Missing Dogs

The TDHA has a crime stoppers and legal fund for TDHA members. Another good reason to join TDHA.

Crime Stoppers Fund

The Texas Dog Hunters Association's Crime Stoppers Fund will pay a reward up to $500 for information that leads to the conviction of a person(s) who has committed a criminal act according to the laws of the State of Texas against or affecting a dog owned by a member of Texas Dog Hunters Association (TDHA.)

To qualify for this assistance you must be a member in good standing for at least 24 hours prior to the act against the dog(s). For the purpose of this fund, in good standing means the TDHA member has paid membership dues, those dues have been received by TDHA and the member is recognized by TDHA.

The Board of Directors of TDHA will consider each case individually and determine the amount to be paid and the time period in which the reward may be claimed by the affected member.

The reward CAN be paid to a non-TDHA member.

Legal Fund

The Texas Dog Hunters Association's Legal Fund is for members who are involved in legal action concerning the member's hunting dogs. TDHA may pay up to $1,000 for each application. This fund is designed to assist with expenses relating to a civil or criminal case including, but not limited to, attorney's fees and trial expenses.

To qualify for this assistance you must be a member in good standing for at least 24 hours prior to the incident that is the subject of the civil suit or criminal case. For the purpose of this fund, in good standing means the TDHA member has paid membership dues, those dues have been received by TDHA and the member is recognized by TDHA.

The TDHA Board of Directors reserves the right to examine each case based on the facts presented to TDHA and to determine the amount, if any, to be paid up to $1,000.

If the member who makes the application is awarded costs and/or damages and actually receives payment on such award, any monies paid to the member from the Legal Fund by TDHA must be reimbursed to TDHA and the Legal Fund.
