They certainly have showed up lately around frozen point @Anahuac Nat.Wildlife Refruge.I've fished there hundreds of times without ever seeing a TPWD Warden but they're always @ Ft.Anahuac Park.

They wrote my buddy up for not having "Enough " escape holes ..
Each " compartment " meaning top and bottom must have 2 rings
He only had one in each comp

I'm not saying I don't want the wardens doing their job , but
if you see that someone is trying to do right but missed something
maybe contact them and give them a chance to fix the problem..
Take a look at the regs set on a crab trap in Texas, its easy to find

Easy to find and easy to comply with.... if someone takes about 5 minutes to read them.

I am wanting to make a raft to float down the creek.  I have been looking a different options, but something I did not realize is the state now wants just about everything registered.  For example, if I ducktape a bunch of plastic bottles to 3 or 4 - 8 ft  2X4's , put a trolling motor on it......I have to pay $32.00 a year and have it registered..........to me, thats stupid.

read below:

The following vessels (when on Texas public water) are required by law to have current registration. This includes vessels that are docked or moored:

[b]All motorized boats, regardless of length (motorized boats include boats propelled by a trolling motor); [/b] and
All sailboats 14 feet in length or longer or any sailboat with an auxiliary engine(s); and
USCG Documented vessels.
Exempted vessels — All (non-motorized) canoes, kayaks, punts, rowboats, or rubber rafts (regardless of length) when paddled, poled, or oared; sailboats under 14 feet in length when windblown; USCG documented commercial vessels used in coastal shipping; and USCG documented vessels exceeding 115 feet in length.
