Passed a state law requiring the registration of all wild
felines on a county level. Over the year 2000, the Texas Zoonosis Control office of the
state Health Department will be formulating caging and husbandry standards to be
administered by each county. Registration will require a permit fee, compliance with
caging requirements, $100,000 liability insurance coverage and an acceptable
veterinary care program as determined by the Zoonosis Control board. Counties can
opt to prohibit the possession of wild felines rather then administer these minimum
state rules.

Important Notice
Every effort has been made
to ensure that this information is accurate, and appropriate contact information has been included for each state.
The LIOC-Endangered Species Conservation Federation strongly urges you contact the various state agencies personally,
to verify that no new laws have been passed, before you proceed with any transactions. We cannot be held responsible
should you fail to follow state laws. This is only a brief summary, offered as a service to our members. In many cases, the
actual laws are quite long and involved.
Also, many counties and cities have enacted regulations, which means that even
if the state law allows for the possession of wild felines, the county or city might have passed ordinances against such activities.
Therefore you have to check with each agency before you proceed with ownership or sales.
