  From Responsible Pet Owners Alliance,
  the reasonable voice regarding animal issues in Texas.
  Responsible Pet Owners Alliance is an animal welfare organization,
  not "animal rights" and, yes, there is a difference.

  I am still waiting for confirmation but have it on good information that
the
  House sponsors especially Gattis' office are up to some tricks in Austin.
  The animal cruelty bill  (HB2328) is being debated on the House floor
today
  and is expected to have a vote.  Those sponsors do not believe their
cruelty
  bill will pass as it is opposed by farmers, ranchers, hunters, etc.
  However, there is an effort to amend that bill and add Gattis' 1355, which
  we all are opposed to it in it's current form.  They hope by doing this,
  they will gain support for the cruelty bill as well since there is a great
  deal of momentum behind Gattis' bill in the House.  If this were to be
  amended and passed on the House floor, there is a possibility it could go
to
  the Senate floor for a vote without the Senate Criminal Justice Committee
  even having to make a decision and vote on it.  Nothing surprises me that
  comes out of Austin.  Not only do most of those who support this bill not
  know what it actually does now there are people signing on to support it
who
  have most likely not even read the bill.

  Action is needed immediately.  Direct calls to the Austin offices of your
  Representatives, not Senators, should be made today.  Facsimile
  correspondence should be sent as well re-urging opposition to House Bill
  1355 which you have "heard" is going to be added to the cruelty bill which
  is House Bill 2328 on the House floor today.  This is a bad law which will
  have no positive effect on stopping animals from roaming loose or have any
  preventative measure.  Add whatever else you would like to your letter but
  we should get responses at as soon as possible.

  Representative Gattis' office has been very evasive and refused to answer
  questions and have played "dumb" about what may be going on with this in
the
  House but did indicate the House members are on the floor currently
debating
  the cruelty bill.  We need immediate responses to all Representatives at
  this moment.
  Right now! Please!
  Sincerely,
  Jeff Shaver
