different farms, between a place of
supply or storage to farms and re-
turn, or from an owner's farm to the
place where his farm produce is pre-
pared for market or where same is
actually marketed and return."
In each case it will be necessary to deter-
mine from the facts whether or not the horses being
used in the rodeo are being conveyed from the owner's
farm to a place where the horse is prepared for market
or where the horse is actually marketed, and return
therefrom. From the facts you have given, however,
it appears that in this case such is not true; there-
fore, it is the opinion of this office that trailers
used for the purposes set forth in your letter must
be registered in accordance with the law of this
State.
Your attention is invited to Article 6675a-2
(h)3, Vernon's Civil Statutes, which provides:
"Any vehicle exempt from regular fees
under this Subsection and operated and
moved upon the public highways of this
State in violation of this Subsection
shall be deemed to be operated or moved
unregistered and shall immediately be
subject to the regular registration
fees and penalties prescribed by law."
SUMMARY
Trailers being used for the purpose
of conveying horses to and from rodeos
are not exempt as farm trailers and must
be licensed under the laws of this State.
Yours very truly,
WAGGONER CARR
Attorney General of Texas

REO/er Assistant Attorney General
