Relating to the regulation of deer breeding by the Parks and Wildlife Department.
SB 2652 establishes new fencing requirements for deer breeding operations regulated by the Parks and Wildlife Department. It requires all breeder deer to be held behind fences at least eight feet high and mandates the same height for release sites where deer are liberated. This bill directly affects licensed deer breeders who operate under Subchapter L permits in Texas. The key provision, added to Section 43.3515 of the Parks and Wildlife Code, aims to prevent deer escapes by setting minimum fence standards for both holding and release areas.
