Texas Parks And Wildlife

Heath Canyon Ranch was purchased by the Nature Conservancy in Texas and will be part of the Black Gap Wildlife Management Area.

A Parks and Recreation worker reported a possible mountain lion near Dante's Trail last month. Sightings are rare in Central Texas, but that doesn't mean the animals aren't around.

The park expanded by 3,073 acres at a time when officials say people are going to Texas parks more than ever before.

Local health authorities recommend caution when dealing with wild birds, poultry and cattle.

The popular Hill Country landmark is growing. The new area will increase the overall biodiversity of the park with a creek and some small ponds.

Every so often, someone spots a wild cat in their neighborhood that's almost certainly not a domestic stray. Who is roaming the city?

Texas has been an outlier as the only state that did not have any regulations for mountain lion trapping and hunting. Now, the state has established a rule to prevent live mountain lions from being left in traps.

The lawsuit comes a month after Texas Parks and Wildlife unanimously approved a land exchange deal with SpaceX for nearly 500 acres.

Parks and Wildlife officials were trying to stop chronic wasting disease from spreading out of the Kerr Wildlife Management Area.

In January, a prescribed burn at the park got out of control, conjuring memories of the Bastrop County Complex fire in 2011. Now, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says it agrees with all recommendations issued by an independent panel reviewing the incident.
