Bexar County treats coyotes as non-game wildlife under Texas Parks and Wildlife Code 71.001, allowing landowner removal without permit when coyotes threaten livestock, pets, or property, while emphasizing hazing and habitat modification through Bexar County Animal Care Services education programs.
Texas Parks and Wildlife Code classifies coyotes as non-game animals, meaning landowners and lessees may take them year-round without bag limits or hunting licenses on private property in unincorporated Bexar County. Discharge of firearms remains restricted in subdivisions and within 600 feet of homes under local nuisance rules. BCAS recommends hazing techniques (loud noise, water hose, throwing objects) before lethal action and coordinates with Texas Wildlife Services for repeat livestock predation. Feeding wildlife is prohibited under separate Bexar County rules to reduce habituation.
Illegal firearm discharge in populated areas: Class A misdemeanor under TX Penal Code 42.12, up to 1 year jail, $4,000 fine; trespass to take coyotes on neighbor land: criminal trespass; cruelty if non-lethal capture mishandled.
