I tried to send a test message to the number shown in the article and received an error message. Since the number does not appear to be a complete telephone number, should I add a special character before the number to make it work?

IMPORTANT NOTE:
You must type the starting keyword "tpwd" (but without the quotes) at the beginning of the text message line in order for the remainder of your text message to reach the TPWD. Leave this keyword out and you'll receive an error message informing you of the missing keyword.

Why bother. The "good old boys" down at the courthouse just toss the cases over in the corner. Probably why our local GW retired.

Hell I just call the Sheriff's Department it's a damn sight quicker than trying to figure out that phone number.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

I would rather call. Just think about the all the texting back and fourth that will turn into.

If a "bear" is poaching on your property and you shoot it, kill it, and bury it, does it make a noise?
