If there is Lorentz symmetry violation in the $t$ quark sector of the standard model, changes to particles' dispersion relations might allow for the existence of stable top-flavored hadrons. Observations of the survival of high-energy $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-rays over astrophysical distances can be used to place constraints on Lorentz violation coefficients in the $t$ sector at $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}4}--{10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ levels of precision.
