In addition to northern patrol efforts, Texas Game Wardens out of Cameron county have responded to 25 calls for service from the local US/Mexico Port of Entry to assist U.S. Customs and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services with aquatic/wildlife inspections to ensure commercial resource importation safeguards, protecting the public, are being met.
