On Behalf of Texas Mountain Lions, Thank You!
On May 23, 2024, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission voted unanimously in favor of two proposed regulations, a ban on canned hunting and 36-hour trap check times.
With more than 7,500 total public comments received by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), 91% said they support both measures.
