New Business
Let-off limits for entries have been removed.
Minimum for Non-Typical Whitetail's has been raised to 135 net.
Minimum for Non-Typical Mule Deer has been raised to 145 net.
Wording "High-Fence" has been changed to "Escape-Proof"on the Fair Chase Affidavit.
Parts of damaged antlers, horns, and skulls may be included in the score of an animal if the piece can proven "without a doubt" to be the missing part of that animal prior to "repair".
5/15/2004 - Because of restrictions put into effect by the Texas Department of Health concerning businesses that deal with any food products, it has become more difficult to locate "certified scales" to weigh wild game ( Fish & Turkey ) to comply with entry requirements. The TBBR will accept entries weighed on "accurate" hand - held scales. Exception to this ruling would be if the entry is a potential new State Record.
Measurers, be sure the "Yes or NO" box on the Fair Chase Affidavit pertaining to the recovery of the animal is checked. If "No" is the answer, a note or letter explaining the circumstances must accompany the score forms.
6/26/2004 - A scoring has been set -up for July 10th in Kerrville , TX. The seminar will start at 9a.m. and is being held at the Kerr County Extention Office Complex. Directions to the complex:

Today, the TBBR website surpassed the 250,000 hit mark since its begining on April 24, 2004. Many thanks to the visitors.

The TBBR just had its 1 year anniversary today with a total of 287,317 hits. Thanks go out to all the visitors and those that have supported the LSBA and the Texas Bowhunting & Bowfishing Records with their entries into the system.
05/22/2005
The LSBA Execitive Council approved the following changes to the TBBR 05/21/2005:
1. Entry Fee is now $3.00 for all fish meeting entry requirements.
2. The TBBR and the TBA (Texas Bowfishing Association) has merged their records systems for fish. The TBBR will now be the sole records keeper , and all entries and entry fee will be received by the TBBR. Down-loadable entry forms are available at both websites. LSBA and TBA logos will appear on bowfishing forms and certificates. Both Associations feel that this merging will be a plus for bowfishing in Texas while maintaining the separate infer-structure of each organization.

A lot of changes have occurred in my life the pass couple of months. I am getting married July 11th. I have purchased some small acreage in Uvalde, Texas, where I will be building a home, that should be completed around the first of the year. Depending the sale of my present home in Cedar Park, I will be moving to temporary living arrangements in Uvalde. I will post the new mailing address at that time. I apologize for the slower turn-around time for your entries, but bear with me under the circumstances.
11/07/2007
Well, all of the changes in life have occured. I am married to a sweet and lovely school teacher, built a new
home in Uvalde, Tx, and finally got the TBBR records and website up to date.
