	(1)  On page 1, line 7, strike "PROOF OF RESIDENCY.  The" and

	(2)  On page 1, between lines 10 and 11, insert the following:

purposes of hunting or catching any animal in this state through the 
use of any device that remotely controls another device used to hunt 
or catch the animal.
	(c)  A rule described by Subsection (b) may prohibit a class

person in the class is a resident or nonresident.  A person who 
violates a rule adopted under Subsection (b) commits an offense 
that is a Class A Parks and Wildlife misdemeanor, and each animal 
the person hunts or catches in violation of the rule is a separate 
offense.

the bill and renumber subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  If HB 391, Acts of the 79th Legislature, 
Regular Session, 2005, or other legislation substantially similar 
to that Act becomes law, Sections 11.004(b) and (c), Parks and 
Wildlife Code, as added by this Act, are void and do not take 
effect.
