I'll buy the coffee. Love to hear you guys swap cop stories
Crustaceous, in as much as I am familiar with the State of Texas hiring practices, I have never heard of them offering a game warden position to ANYONE. "After" you qualify with the required college hours you make application to be ACCEPTED to the Academy for Texas Parks and Wildlife, and besides the politics involved, as it is a much sought after job, it is not easy to get into the academy. I doubt he could pass the psychological exam, or the LOGICAL exam if there was such a thing.
I have friends that have been game wardens for years, and have never heard of such a thing. i.e., I don't believe it for a minute, and if I am wrong (and doubt I, or they are) there still wouldn't be any cop story swap. I am sure you already know that however.
