Game Warden Outpost Complete

In September of 2008, CCA Texas pledged $32,000 to Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens for the construction of a floating cabin in the Lower Laguna Madre.  Construction on the cabin, a new front-line for wardens enforcing game and safety laws and providing for public safety along the desolate stretches of water in south Texas is now complete.

“The Game wardens in south Texas are to be commended for doing such a fantastic job on this floating cabin.  Using the money donated by CCA Texas, they built this important facility by hand.” said CCA Texas Executive Director, Robby Byers.  “Their hard work on this project as well as their unyielding drive to protect Texas’ natural resources and the people that enjoy them show a dedication in which all CCA Texas members can take pride.”

The cabin will be anchored just south of the Land Cut in Kennedy County and will provide a central location for wardens to patrol Willacy, Kleberg and Cameron counties where the Lower Laguna Madre is located.
“This cabin will allow wardens to patrol the Lower Laguna for extended periods of time, save money on fuel, and will increase the amount of time wardens will have to provide public awareness of their presence on these waters. They will also be able to react in a more quickly in case of emergencies.” said Byers.  “Thanks to this cabin, the Lower Laguna will be a safer place for all who enjoy it.”
