Measuring Up in Limestone County
Texas Game Warden Dylan Wallace keeps attorney Michael Stallings honest while visiting the office of Limestone County District Attorney Jeff Janes. The 13-inch rule in Limestone County states that a legal buck must have an inside spread of at least 13 inches or greater to be harvested. This rack, from the 2025 deer season, measured 13.5 inches. “That’s slicing it pretty thin even for an attorney,” Stallings admitted. Game Warden Wallace has served Limestone County since May 2021. Wallace serves Limestone County along with Texas Game Warden Thomas Rinn; the officers have served Limestone County for five and six years, respectively. Their district includes 15 game wardens led by Captain Dornell Crist and stretches across seven counties from Rusk to Corsicana down to Centerville. As Texas Game Wardens, Wallace and Rinn are fully commissioned peace officers who not only enforce conservation laws but assist in the enforcement of all Texas Laws. From Driving While Intoxicated to school safety initiatives to numerous other public safety duties, these members of our community are ready to answer the call. Photo Courtesy of Michael Stallings
