Texas SB503 establishes an electronic registry for livestock marks and brands.

SB503 amends the Texas Agriculture Code to create an electronic registry for livestock marks and brands. The Texas Animal Health Commission must maintain this registry on its website, which is publicly available and searchable. The registry will include electronic records of marks and brands recorded with county clerks, including those recorded before the registry's establishment. The registry will not disclose personal identifying information to the public but will allow law enforcement access for purposes of investigation.
