Is LTC 79 Santa Margarita Ranch
(
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wildlife/wildlife-trails/coastal/lower/falcon-loop
)
in west Starr County still open to the public? This private property was
excellent for birds and butterflies years ago, but the last two times I
tried to visit, the gravel road down to the house, where you paid a nominal
fee, and Rio Grande beyond was closed -- gate shut, chained, and locked.
What's the latest, please? Muchas gracias!

I spoke to the owner. He said the ranch is no longer open to the public.
Concerns about smuggling and violence were the reason for the decision to
close the ranch.
