Universal City discourages feeding wild animals such as deer, feral hogs, and raccoons. Feeding that creates a public nuisance or attracts dangerous wildlife can be cited under the citys nuisance ordinance.
While Universal City does not have a dedicated wildlife-feeding ban, intentional feeding of wild mammals that creates public health or safety concerns can be prosecuted under the general nuisance provisions of Chapter 18 and Chapter 6. Feral hogs are a growing concern in Bexar County, and state law (TX Parks and Wildlife Code) allows year-round hog control. Feeding deer in residential yards attracts coyotes, concentrates disease, and frequently draws nuisance citations when it affects neighbors. Bird feeding is permitted but feeders must not create rodent harborage. Tx Parks and Wildlife Department also regulates game animal feeding. Violations can result in abatement orders and Class C fines up to 500 dollars per occurrence.
