 | | Game wardens, for scientific and investigative purposes, can take wildlife into their possession. |
 | | In addition, if a game warden believes a person has violated any statute, code, or regulation under their authority, the warden is authorized to inspect any license, permit, or tag issued by TPWD, any device used to hunt or trap wildlife, and the contents of containers that are capable of storing wildlife and wildlife resources. |
 | | Game wardens can perform seizures and inspections in a person’s home, temporary residence (such as tents, hotel rooms, and campers), on roadways, and public property. |
