S. B. No. 88.] CHAPTER 7.
An Act providing a daily bag limit and a possession limit on wild ducks
and wild geese that are killed, taken or possessed during the open
season and repealing any provision of the law in conflict with this
Act; making it unlawful to take or kill or have in possession wild
ducks or wild geese in excess of such limit; providing a penalty and
declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. It shall be lawful for any person to take, capture
or kill not more than fifteen wild ducks and not more than
four wild geese in any one day and to have in possession not
more than thirty wild ducks and to have in possession not more
than eight wild geese at any one time. All laws or parts of
laws relative to bag limit and possession limit of wild ducks
and wild geese in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
SEC. 2. It shall be unlawful for any one person to take, capture
or kill more than fifteen wild ducks in arv one day and it
shall be unlawful for any person to take or kill more than four
wild geese in any one day. It shall be unlawful for any person
to have in possession more than thirty wild ducks at any
time and it shall be unlawful for any person to have in possession
at any time more than eight wild geese at any one time.
Provided, that any ducks or geese killed, taken or possessed in

may be taken, killed and possessed.
SEC. 3. Any person violating any of the provisions of this
Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be fined in any sum not less than Ten ($10.00) Dollars
and not more than Two Hundred ($200.00) Dollars, and
each fowl so taken, killed or possessed in violation of this Act
shall constitute a separate offense.
SEC. 4. The fact that Federal regulations governing the taking,
killing and possessing wild ducks and wild geese have been
changed so that the present State laws do not conform with the
Federal regulations creates an emergency and an imperative
necessity that the constitutional rule requiring bills be read on
three several days in each House be and the same is hereby suspended,
so that this Act shall take effect and be in full force
on and after its passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved February 17, 1930.
Effective (90) ninety days after adjournment.
