Program. It is part of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
and works to assist our Texas Game Wardens in their efforts to
curtail poaching activity. The program raises money to fund
promotion of public awareness, provides a toll-free reward
hotline for reporting violations, and provides payments of rewards
and payment of death benefits to the family of any of our officers
killed in the line of duty. Our fundraising efforts have allowed us
to purchase twelve smaller versions of our “infamous” Wall of
Shame Exhibit to travel within each region around the state. These
exhibits enable us to emphasize the magnitude of natural resource
crime. Recently passed legislation allows the OGT Committee to
offer rewards on additional criminal activities like boating while
intoxicated and criminal trespass. The legislation also allows the
Committee to better assist our wardens in implementing new and
emerging technology in the fight against criminal exploitation
of our wildlife resources. It's a program that continues to work,
thanks to supporters like YOU!
