Mudbug sales halted by media post

A Jefferson County game warden followed up on information from a social media post where a subject was selling live crawfish, according to a release from the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife. When the warden contacted the seller, he claimed to own a catering company that sold live crawfish to local restaurants and individuals. The sale of live crawfish for commercial and personal use would require a Texas Wholesale Fish Dealer License.

The man claimed over the phone that he was properly licensed in Texas and Louisiana.  After requesting an in-person meeting with the subject, the warden discovered that the subject did not possess any type of commercial license and his vehicle was not properly marked to transport aquatic products.
