A person commits an offense by refusing, conspiring to refuse, or causing another person to refuse entry, inspection, sampling, or copying of certain invoices or transportation records.

This section defines terms used in the chapter, including “estray,” “perilous condition,” “person,” “exotic livestock,” and “exotic fowl.”
Some occupants and similar non-owners can have an owner’s rights under this chapter, but an owner and an occupant of the same property may not recover for the same damage.
A person may claim ownership of exotic livestock or exotic fowl only if the animal is clearly marked in a way that can be seen or identified from a long distance and shows the animal is the claimant’s property.
If an estray is found on private or public property, the property owner or custodian must report it to the county sheriff as soon as reasonably possible.
The owner of an estray may redeem it under specified payment/authorization conditions; if it is not redeemed by the fifth day after notification, the sheriff or designee must begin impoundment unless there is a good-faith effort to comply; the estray may not be used during impoundment.
If the sheriff or the sheriff’s designee is present when an estray is collected, they may require the owner to pay a collection fee of up to $25 before removal.
The property owner or occupant may receive a reasonable redemption payment for an estray if notice was given to the sheriff within 5 days of discovery.
A petition asking a justice court to determine a redemption payment or collection fee amount must include specific details about the estray, the property, and the parties’ inability to agree.
If a listed person disagrees with the justice’s payment assessment, the appeal must be started by filing a petition; the justice of the peace must appoint three county residents as special commissioners, and may use contempt and witness-compulsion powers for their proceedings.
The sheriff or the sheriff’s designee must impound an estray when the listed conditions are met, then prepare and file a notice and try to find the owner.
An estray owner may reclaim the animal before sale if required affidavits are filed and approved, expenses are paid, and the sheriff completes the filing steps.
An estray held by the sheriff may not be used for any purpose during that period.
If an impounded estray dies or escapes, the sheriff must make a written report and file it with the county clerk.
If an impounded estray is not claimed or redeemed in time, the county gets title and the sheriff must sell it unless subsection (e) applies.
