Relating to the voluntary removal of either a breeder deer's identification tag or button tag on liberation of the breeder deer onto a release site.

SB 2845 allows individuals releasing breeder deer onto designated sites to voluntarily remove either the standard identification tag or the button tag attached to the deer, but not both. This applies specifically to breeder deer owners or handlers during the liberation process onto a release site. The bill amends Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Section 43.3561 to provide this tagging flexibility without changing existing tagging requirements. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects those managing breeder deer releases.
