Field Collecting in Northern Texas

I am in the DFW area and would like to know if there is a good place to see and/or collect herps that would be no more than 4 hours away.

Thanks,
Carin

Carin,

I live just down the road from you. If memory serves correctly, our state changed their laws to be significantly restrictive on collecting a couple of years ago. I don't believe you can own/sell some native species without a permit and most you just can't have at all anymore.

Sorry, I have a little more to add for history. I've never personally collected anywhere, but I know some big name herpers used to travel from their states to Texas to collect before the laws changed. It was a decent source of revenue for our state with hotel, travel expenses, etc. It is unfortunate that some "well meaning" politicians ruined it for so many. If you find out more specifics or anything to the contrary in your research please post because I haven't heard anything in awhile and I can't seem to find it online.
