Terms Used In Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Chapter 61 > Subchapter C - Regulatory Duties

• Catch: means take or kill and includes an attempt to take or kill. See Texas Parks and Wildlife Code 1.101
• Effects: includes all personal property and all interest in that property. See Texas Government Code 312.011
• Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. ^{Source: U.S. Courts}
