A bill introduced by Texas state Rep. Ryan Guillen (R-31) would allow ranchers to register their brands and other identification methods online with a county clerk to send to a digital database maintained by the Texas Animal Health Commission.
“This ensures that registered brands are centrally stored in a searchable online database, making them easily accessible to ranchers, law enforcement and county clerks while reducing administrative burdens,” Guillen said at a state House Committee on Agriculture & Livestock hearing.
The bill was set to be considered on April 15.
