(a) An inspector is entitled to enter any public or private place where cattle or sheep are kept or ranged for the purpose of:
(1) ascertaining the presence of scabies infection;
(2) ascertaining any exposure to scabies; or
(3) inspecting, classifying, or treating cattle or sheep for scabies infection or exposure.
(b) If the inspector under Subsection (a) of this section desires to be accompanied by a peace officer, the inspector may apply for and obtain a search warrant as provided by Section 161.047 of this code.
(c) The person who owns or controls the place to be entered under this section or who owns or controls the animals shall, on request of the inspector or a member of the commission, gather the animals on the range for inspection. Failure or refusal to gather the animals is prima facie evidence that the premises and the animals are infected with scabies and authorizes the commission to quarantine the premises or animals in accordance with this chapter.
