AUSTIN - A freshly-filed piece of legislation is merely a starting place,
not a done deal by any means. Think of a bill just dropped into the
proverbial hopper as someone's wish list.

Finally, House Bill 139 by Rep. G.E. 'Buddy' West, R-Odessa, would
transfer ownership of the Odessa meteor crater to the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department. Currently, this scene of an early-day visit of a large
chunk of extraterrestrial metal is owned and maintained by Ector
County. County employees working at the site also would become state employees.
