Coyotes are abundant across Hill Country edges of Travis County. TCAS does not trap or relocate healthy coyotes, but assists residents with hazing guidance and refers depredation cases to Texas Wildlife Services.
Texas Parks and Wildlife classifies coyotes as nongame predators that landowners may take without a permit if causing damage. TCAS focuses on hazing education such as yelling, waving arms, and removing attractants like pet food and fallen fruit. Sick or aggressive coyotes are referred to Texas Wildlife Services or USDA APHIS for trapping. Pet owners are urged to leash dogs and supervise small pets, especially at dawn and dusk. Lake Travis and Bee Cave neighborhoods report frequent sightings.
Discharging firearms in subdivisions violates Travis County safety rules, and unlawful trap placement may breach state wildlife regulations carrying fines up to 500 dollars.
