From tiny squirrels needing feedings every few hours through the night, to injured birds, opossums, raccoons, and other native wildlife, these volunteers step in where no one else can. Now many wildlife rehabilitators fear proposed changes to Texas wildlife rehabilitation regulations could unintentionally create additional barriers for the very people helping fill this critical need.

The purpose of this op-ed isn’t to tell how much I know about the chain of events that ended with a guilty plea by former Bonham teacher's aide Jherson Manuel-Ramos for Online Solicitation of a Minor on April 15, 2026.
