Original Note:
This tweet incorrectly assumes such laws are unique to Texas. In fact these specific limits (shotguns/shells) are Federal regulations [50 CFR §20.21(b)] applicable in all states under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act [16 USC §703] which protects ducks among many bird species. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/50/20.21 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/16/703
