TPW Commission tables five CWD proposals, public comments abundant

Texas Parks and Wildlife’s public comment page was abuzz ahead of the TPW Commission’s regulatory meeting earlier this month. Not surprisingly, the hot potato on the menu was a lengthy list of proposed amendments to rules governing chronic wasting disease (CWD) detection, response, and management, and deer breeder permits.

Texans go to war

WW-I The Thirty-sixth United States Infantry Division, also known as the Texas Division, saw action in Europe during both world wars. At the outset of its federal service the division was composed mostly of Texas National Guard troops and was therefore nicknamed “Texas Division.” According to some sources, the arrowhead (point down) on the division’s shoulder patch was thought to stand for Oklahoma, while the superimposed capital block-letter “T” was thought to stand for Texas. The “T-Patchers” mobilized at Camp Bowie, Tarrant County, in response to orders of the United States War Department dated July 18, 1917. Some national guardsmen from Oklahoma supplemented the division.
