dropped its appeal to
have the lesser prairie
chicken listed as a
threatened species under
federal protection via the
Endangered Species Act,
Texas Agriculture
Commissioner Sid
Miller announced May

Miller said that previ-

threatened, and after the
ruling, the lesser prairie
chicken lost its designa-
tion as a threatened
species.
“I’m pleased to see the
U.S. Justice Department
has dropped its latest
attempt to impede our
rights,” Miller said.
