Flower Mound, TX Animal Ordinances: Wildlife Feeding (2026)

Flower Mound does not have a standalone wildlife feeding prohibition, but the general nuisance provisions of the Code of Ordinances prohibit maintaining conditions on property that attract vermin, create unsanitary conditions, or endanger public health. The town's location in the Cross Timbers ecological region means residential areas border wooded corridors that support coyotes, bobcats, white-tailed deer, raccoons, opossums, feral hogs, and various raptors. Flower Mound Animal Services and the Environmental Services Division periodically issue advisories urging residents not to leave pet food outdoors, not to intentionally feed coyotes or feral hogs, and to secure garbage containers. Feral hog management falls under TPWD regulations permitting landowner take without a hunting license on private property. TX Parks and Wildlife Code protects non-game birds, and feeding that results in congregation and property damage could lead to a nuisance declaration. Denton County has experienced chronic issues with feral hog populations damaging Cross Timbers habitat and residential landscaping.
