I've got a poaching case. P&W Sec. 61.022. Pursuant to Sec. 12.5015, upon conviction for that offense the Court is required to "set a period of not less than one year and not more than five years during which the department may not issue that person a license, tag, or stamp . . ."

Has anyone prepared such an order before? I always like to ask before re-inventing the wheel.

Thanks!

I checked the TPWD files and discovered that this is usually handled by adding a sentence to the judgment/sentence or probation order, as applicable. It is sometimes written in by hand, and is usually some variation on "defendant's hunting and fishing licenses are suspended for a period of five years." Sometimes "revoked" is used instead of "suspended." One version simply said the defendant was prohibited from obtaining a Texas hunting or fishing license for five years. None of this language exactly tracks the statute, but our staff knows what is meant when we see one of these.
