Texas -

Speaker of the Texas House Joe Straus returns to his hometown of San Antonio to deliver the keynote address to TWA members at WildLife 2009 and reflect on his first legislative session as presiding officer of the House.

WildLife 2009 is Texas Wildlife Associations' premier two-day convention, held in San Antonio at the Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and Spa from June 26-27th. WildLife 2009 includes a wide range of activities such as wildlife seminars, presentations, banquets, demonstrations, outdoor fun and wildlife contests for the kids, and over 50 exhibitors showcasing the latest in outdoor equipment, farm and ranch real estate, telecommunications, food services, vehicles, and banking and loan services.

Speaker Straus, an avid outdoorsman, will deliver his keynote address at Noon on Saturday, June 27, as part of the Statewide Texas Big Game Awards Banquet (TBGA), held in conjunction with WildLife 2009. The Statewide TBGA features some of the most spectacular specimens of white-tailed deer, mule deer and pronghorn antelope taken during the 2008-2009 hunting season. The specimens will be on display at the banquet. The program recognizes both the hunter who took the outstanding animal and the land manager whose efforts produced the habitat necessary to sustain the animal.
