TMTC Uvalde County Land Acquisition Update

November 6, 2003

Greetings,

Texas Motorized Trails Coalition (TMTC) would like to announce the
important decision made today by the Executive Committee and Board
of Directors to not continue with the land acquisition located in
Uvalde County at this time due to the many uncertainties.

We will be looking forward to working with Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department to uphold the mandated resolutions governed by Senate
Bill 155 which state off-road vehicle parks shall be created and
opened throughout the State with guidance from Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department.

At this time, TMTC would like to extend their appreciation to the
Uvalde County community, including surrounding areas, for their
outstanding support of our mission and vision. A special thank you
goes out to Mr. Johnson, the property owner, for his patience and
understanding. We wish him the best. Because of the support we have
received, not only from the local community leaders, but also from
the Uvalde County government, we plan to continue to search for land
in this same area. If anyone in this area of South West Texas has
suitable property that could become another nationally recognized
Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) Park in Texas, please don't hesitate to
contact us at http://www.texasmotorizedtrails.com/. We have Board
Members ready to follow up on any serious inquiries.

We would like the membership to understand that TMTC Parks must be
operationally self-sustaining. With the uncertainty surrounding this
acquisition and the need to expend large amounts of funds, without
assurances, it was decided it was not in the best interest of our
not-for-profit organization. We have however learned valuable
lessons that will be applied to our next acquisition attempt. We
would like to publicly acknowledge the countless hours Carol Smith
has given to this acquisition project and would like to say, "Thank
you!" on behalf of ourselves and the membership of TMTC.

Sincerely,

TMTC Board of Directors
