CHAPTER 29. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
SUBCHAPTER B. GO TEXAN RURAL
COMMUNITY PROGRAM RULES
4 TAC 29.21
The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department) adopts
amendments to Title 4, Part 1, Chapter 29, Subchapter B,
29.21, concerning the department's GO TEXAN Rural Com-munity Program, without changes to the proposal published in
the December 5, 2008, issue of the Texas Register (33 TexReg
9839).
The amendment to 29.21 is adopted to modify the definition
of a "non-metropolitan county" to achieve necessary program
goals of economic development in rural Texas. The definition of
"non-metropolitan county" is changed to include counties located
in a U.S. Census Bureau designated metropolitan statistical area
with a county population of less than 50,000. The change will
provide more rural Texas communities with an effective tool to
market and promote themselves as a desirable rural community
or travel destinations, resulting in economic activity in more ru-
ral Texas communities due to the name recognition of the GO
TEXAN certification mark.
No comments were received on the proposal.
The amendment to 29.21 is adopted under the Texas Agricul-
ture Code (the Code), 12.016, which authorizes the depart-
ment to adopt rules to administer its duties under the Code; and
12.027, which authorizes the department to establish and main-
tain an economic development program.
This agency hereby certifies that the adoption has been reviewed
by legal counsel and found to be a valid exercise of the agency's
legal authority.
Filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on January 9, 2009.

PART 7. TEXAS AGRICULTURE
RESOURCES PROTECTION
AUTHORITY
CHAPTER 101. GENERAL RULES
SUBCHAPTER A. ROUTINE PROCEDURES
4 TAC 101.1 - 101.3, 101.20
The Texas Department of Agriculture (the department) adopts
the repeal of Chapter 101, Subchapter A, 101.1 - 101.3 and
101.20, concerning Routine Procedures for the Agriculture Re-
sources Protection Authority (Authority), without changes to the
proposal published in the October 31, 2008, of the Texas Regis-
ter (33 TexReg 8855). The repeal of these sections is proposed
because the Authority was abolished by law by the Texas Leg-
islature during the 79th Legislative Session (2005), and the sec-
tions were, in effect, voided and no longer effective upon abol-
ishment of the Authority.
No comments were received on the proposal.
The repeal of 101.1 - 101.3 and 101.20 is adopted under
Texas Agriculture Code, 12.016, which authorizes the depart-
ment to adopt rules as necessary to administer its duties under
the Texas Agriculture Code.34 TexReg 414 January 23, 2009
