AUSTIN — This year, hunters in Texas will notice an increase in messaging about Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and its impacts to the state as the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) launches a new public awareness campaign.

The campaign aims to share information with hunters and the public about how they can help protect Texas deer and stop the spread of this deadly disease.

(AUSTIN) — Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar announced this week he will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts $1.1 billion in local sales tax allocations for July, 7.5 percent more than in July 2022.

These allocations are based on sales made in May by businesses that report tax monthly.

Texas lawmakers approved several bills during the 88th legislative session that will impact farmers, ranchers and rural Texans.

“This session was successful in strengthening our right to farm and ranch and passing additional liability protections for agriculture,” Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) President Russell Boening said. “It took all of our members working together as the voice of Texas agriculture this legislative session, and I’m proud of the work we did.”
