Texas SB2147 establishes that breeder deer are personal property of the deer breeder if born and raised in captivity, held under permit, and tattooed.

Texas SB2147 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to clarify that a breeder deer is the personal property of a deer breeder if it is born and raised in captivity, held in accordance with a permit, and tattooed in one ear with a unique identification number assigned to the deer breeder. This provision takes precedence over conflicting sections 1.011 or 1.013. However, it does not apply to breeder deer intentionally released into the wild from the breeder's facility. The act will take effect on September 1, 2025.
