41 reported cases of Zika vi-
ms disease.
Of those cases, 40 were
in travelers who were in-
fected abroad and diagnosed
after they returned home;
one of those travelers was a
pregnant woman. One case
involved a Dallas County
resident who had sexual
contact with someone who
acquired the Zika infection
while traveling abroad.
The DSHS posted this
list of Zika cases by county:
Bexar, 6; Collin, J; Dallas,
6; Denton, 2; Ellis, 1; Fort
Bend, 2; Grayson, 1; Har-
ris, 13; Tarrant, 4; Travis, 2;
Val Verde, 1; Williamson, 1;
and Wise, 1, for a total of 41
cases.
The DSHS is advising
Texans to protect them-
selves against Zika by ap-
plying EPA-registered insect
repellents; wearing pants
and long-sleeved shirts that
cover exposed skin; using
screens or closing windows
and doors to keep mosqui-
toes out; removing stand-
ing water in and around the
home; and covering trash
cans or containers where wa-
ter can collect.
West Nile is here, too
On June 7, the DSHS
posted information about the
mosquito-borne West Nile
virus, known to be active in
Texas.
The agency said the
state’s first case of the ner-
vous system-attacking dis-
ease was diagnosed in a per-
son from El Paso County.
In 2015, some 275 hu-
man cases of West Nile ill-
ness were reported in Texas,
reportedly causing 16 deaths.
Hurricane drill is held
The Texas Department
of Public Safety on June 8
posted information about
a multi-agency exercise in
which a mock “Hurricane
Tejas” led to the evacuation
of a sample group of 300
people.
The agency’s Texas Divi-
sion of Emergency Manage-
ment coordinated the exer-
cise with local, state, federal
and private sector partners,
moving volunteer “general
and medical evacuees” from
the lower Rio Grande Valley
to the sheltering jurisdictions
of San Antonio, Austin, Fort
Worth and Irving.
DPS Director Steven
McCraw said, “Protect-
ing Texans from natural di-
sasters demands vigorous
preparation, and exercises
like this keep our emergency
management system honed
and ready to assist our local
partners should a significant
storm threaten Texas.”
Tax allocations are lower
Texas Comptroller Glenn
Hegar on June 8 announced
his office will send cities,
counties, transit systems and
special purpose taxing dis-
tricts $618 million in local
sales tax allocations for June,
1.8 percent less than in June
2015. These allocations are
based on sales made in April
by businesses that report
tax monthly. “Energy-cen-
tric cities such as Midland,
Odessa and Corpus Christi
continued to see decreases in
sales tax allocations,” Hegar
said. “Meanwhile, other ar-
eas of the state helped offset
those losses as Austin, El
Paso and Irving saw moder-
ate increases in allocations.”

tion and the utmost concern
for Texas’ wild deer herds,
hunting markets and rural
economies.
Last month, TPWD in-
vited a group of interested
and affected stakehold-
ers—including all major
deer breeding trade associa-
tions—to participate in a fa-
cilitated negotiation process
to develop recommenda-
tions for replacement rules.
The stakeholder group met
over four days and engaged
in constructive discussions
to develop consensus. The
proposed rules were pub-
lished in the Texas Register
on April 22, 2016. Previous
rules will expire on August
31,2016.
On May 26,2016, during
a TPW Commission hearing,
the Commission Chairman -
as a result of pressure from
deer breeders claiming they
no longer agree with the rec-
ommendations they had pre-
viously agreed upon—asked
that the commission post-
pone action on the proposed
rules to facilitate additional
efforts to work with stake-
holders. This move despite
the good-faith effort made by
all other stakeholder groups
in development and support
of the consensus rules.
Texans for Saving Our
Hunting Heritage supports
the efforts made by TPWD in
response to Chronic Wasting
Disease and encourages the
commission to adopt rules
with the highest possible
standards for early detection,
management and control of
CWD during the meeting on
June 20, 2016.
TPWD must represent
the vast majority of stake-
holders and protect Texas’
over 4 million wild white-
tailed deer.
