Amid the 2024 Texas Panhandle wildfire crisis, the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) collaborated with state veterinarian offices in Oklahoma and New Mexico to facilitate a waiver of animal movement documentation for livestock producers.
In case of emergency evacuation of livestock to neighboring states, animal owners or producers are urged to contact the TAHC program records department at 512-719-0777 to register animal movement across state lines.
TAHC recommends promptly providing necessary information to facilitate a smooth and secure process for crossing state borders, including livestock species, number of head, movement and destination information.
