Fort Bend County prohibits feeding stray or feral animals in ways that create public health nuisances, and discourages wildlife feeding that attracts coyotes, hogs, and other species near residential areas.
Fort Bend County Animal Services responds to nuisance complaints involving feeding of feral cats, stray dogs, or wildlife that creates sanitation, rodent, or aggressive wildlife problems. While Texas state law governs hunting and feral hog control, the county addresses chronic wildlife feeding through public nuisance enforcement. Residents in unincorporated areas should avoid leaving pet food outside overnight, and TIRZ-area or MUD-area homeowners may face additional rules. Feral hog feeding for trapping is allowed under Texas Parks and Wildlife rules.
Public nuisance citations may carry fines up to $500; repeat violations and abatement orders are possible.
