Texas did pass the puppy mill bill and apparently it has been signed by Gov. Perry. Here is a copy of the bill for those interested:
82(R) HB 1451 - Enrolled version - Bill Text
From what I am reading, anyone with more than 10 breeding females will need to get a license and anyone who sells more than 20 puppies a year. What's not clear to me is that if someone had 5 or 6 breeding females and produced 24 puppies in a year, would they need a license?
I know a lot of people were against the bill, I'm not sure why. Hopefully some good will come out of it.
