The Texas pens have been closed due to lack of funds and activity, not because of any law. The Texas State Hunt will be held in another state this year for the first time ever. I have been going out of state to run my hounds for quite some time.
There are still pens open in texas. but we should never be off the offensive. because the anti's are coming! it's just a matter of time texas just barely missed a kennel law, that would have made in next to impossible to own a hound. and texas is not out of the woods yet!!
