Nueces County has no ordinance banning the feeding of wildlife in unincorporated areas, and it cannot zone to create one; any such rule comes from your city. Attracting animals that create filth or hazards can still be abated as a public nuisance under state law.
There is no county rule prohibiting residents from feeding deer, feral cats, or other wildlife in unincorporated Nueces County, because Texas counties lack that ordinance-making power. Cities such as Corpus Christi may adopt feeding restrictions. If feeding creates unsanitary conditions or attracts vermin, the situation can be addressed as a public health nuisance under Health & Safety Code Ch. 343 (unincorporated public-nuisance abatement) or through state wildlife rules administered by Texas Parks & Wildlife.
No county feeding penalty; a nuisance caused by feeding may be abated under H&S Ch. 343, and improper handling of protected wildlife can violate TPWD rules.
