Texas HB4867 creates a criminal offense for using aircraft to manage or hunt wildlife or exotic animals without proper permits or landowner.

Texas HB4867 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to establish criminal penalties for using aircraft to manage or hunt wildlife or exotic animals without proper permits or landowner authorization. Specifically, it is an offense to hunt or manage wildlife or exotic animals by aircraft without a permit and landowner authorization. It also prohibits harassing wildlife or hunting for sport using aircraft. The bill defines "hunt by use of aircraft" and "hunt for sport" and sets penalties for violations, including Class C misdemeanors and, in some cases, Class A misdemeanors or felonies.
