SB2801 establishes a permit system for hunting dog field trials in Texas, exempting participants from hunting license requirements.

SB2801 amends the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code to create a permit system for competitive hunting dog field trials. These events involve dogs chasing or pursuing squirrels, fur-bearing animals, or nongame animals. The bill defines a "field trial" and a "field trial permit." Participants in these events are exempt from hunting license requirements while actively participating. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission must adopt rules to implement this permit system, including specifying public lands where field trials can occur.
