Action
Chronic Wasting Disease Detection and Response Rules
Containment and Surveillance Zone Boundaries
Recommended Adoption of Proposed Changes
January 25, 2024
I. Executive Summary: Staff seeks adoption of proposed amendments to rules governing chronic wasting disease (CWD) detection, response, and management. The proposed amendments would create a new CWD Containment Zone (CZ) in Coleman County and new CWD Surveillance Zones (SZ) in Cherokee, Coleman, Kerr, and Kimble counties. The proposed amendments would also expand an existing CZ in Medina County, all in response to the continuing detection of CWD in deer breeding facilities and free-ranging deer. The proposed amendments would establish SZs for portions of Cherokee, Coleman, Kimble, and Medina counties to include all properties that are located partially or entirely within two miles of the premises where CWD has been detected in a permitted deer breeding facility. If Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) receives confirmation prior to January 25, 2024, for a suspect CWD-positive sample submitted from Kerr County, the proposed amendments would also establish a new SZ for portions of Kerr County.
II. Discussion: On September 7, 2023, TPWD received notification that a six-year-old female white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Kimble County had been confirmed positive for CWD. On October 19, 2023, TPWD received notification that a 14-month-old male white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Medina County was confirmed positive for CWD. On November 14, 2023, TPWD received notification that a 4.4-year-old male white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Cherokee County was confirmed positive for CWD. On December 6, 2023, TPWD received notification that CWD was confirmed in a free-range 2.5-year-old male white-tailed deer taken by a hunter in Coleman County.
At the time that the proposed rules were submitted to the Texas Register for publication and public comment, TPWD was also awaiting confirmation of test results indicating that a 14-month-old male white-tailed deer in the department’s research facility at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area (WMA) in Kerr County was infected with CWD. TPWD promptly depopulated the Kerr WMA research facility as a precautionary measure.
The proposed rules would establish a new CZ, expand an existing CZ, and establish new SZs in response to these discoveries.
III. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopt the following motion:
“The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopts amendments to 31 Texas Administrative Code §65.81 and §65.82, concerning Disease Detection and Response, as listed in Exhibit A, with changes as necessary to the proposed text as published in the December 22, 2023, issue of the Texas Register (48 TexReg 7868).”

Exhibit A
DISEASE DETECTION AND RESPONSE RULES
PROPOSAL PREAMBLE
1. Introduction.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department proposes amendments to 31 TAC §65.81, concerning Containment Zones; Restrictions, and §65.82, concerning Surveillance Zones; Restrictions.
The proposed amendments would establish a chronic wasting disease (CWD) containment zone (CZ) in Coleman County and surveillance zones (SZs) in Kimble, Medina, Cherokee, Coleman, and Kerr counties in response to the continuing detection of CWD in deer breeding facilities, free-ranging populations, and a department research facility, and would heighten the department’s surveillance efforts in those areas.
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that affects some cervid species, including white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, red deer, sika, and their hybrids (referred to collectively as susceptible species). It is classified as a TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy), a family of diseases that includes scrapie (found in sheep), bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE, found in cattle and commonly known as “Mad Cow Disease”), and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD) in humans.
Much remains unknown about CWD, although robust efforts to increase knowledge are underway in many states and countries. The peculiarities of its transmission (how it is passed from animal to animal), infection rate (the frequency of occurrence through time or other comparative standard), incubation period (the time from exposure to clinical manifestation), and potential for transmission to other species are still being investigated. Currently there is scientific evidence to suggest that CWD has zoonotic potential; however, no confirmed cases of CWD have been found in humans. Consequently, both the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization strongly recommend testing animals taken in areas where CWD exists, and recommend not consuming the meat of infected animals. What is known is that CWD is invariably fatal to certain species of cervids and is transmitted both directly (through animal-to-animal contact) and indirectly (through environmental contamination). If CWD is not contained and controlled, the implications of the disease for Texas and its multi-billion-dollar ranching, hunting, wildlife management, and real estate economies could be significant.
The department has engaged in several rulemakings over the years to address the threat posed by CWD, including rules to designate a system of management zones in areas where CWD has been confirmed. The purpose of those CWD zones is to better determine the geographic extent and prevalence of the disease while containing it by limiting the unnatural movement of live CWD-susceptible species as well as the movement of carcass parts.
The department’s response to the emergence of CWD in captive and free-ranging populations is guided by the department’s CWD Management Plan (Plan) https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wild/diseases/cwd/plan.phtml. Developed in 2012 in consultation with the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC), other governmental entities and conservation organizations, and various advisory groups consisting of landowners, hunters, deer managers, veterinarians, and epidemiologists, the Plan sets forth the department’s CWD management strategies and informs regulatory responses to the detection of the disease in captive and free-ranging cervid populations in the state of Texas. The Plan is intended to be dynamic; in fact, it must be so in order to accommodate the growing understanding of the etiology, pathology, and epidemiology of the disease and the potential management pathways that emerge as it becomes better understood through time. The Plan proceeds from the premise that disease surveillance and active management of CWD once it is detected are absolutely critical to containing it on the landscape. Accordingly, the first step in the department’s response to CWD detections is the timely establishment of management zones around locations where detection occurs. A CZ is “a department-defined geographic area in which CWD has been detected or the department has determined, using the best available science and data, that CWD detection is probable.” Designation of a CZ imposes mandatory carcass movement restrictions, and if the department imposes mandatory check stations, all deer harvested within a CZ must be presented at a check station unless otherwise authorized by the department in writing. A SZ is “a department-defined geographic area in this state within which the department has determined, using the best available science and data, that the presence of CWD could reasonably be expected.” Within a SZ, the movement of live deer is subject to restrictions and the presentation of harvested deer at a department check station is required. In addition, deer carcass movement restrictions set forth in §65.88 of Subchapter B, Division 1 apply.
Historically, when CWD has been detected in a deer breeding facility but not on any associated release sites, the department has considered the property on which the breeding facility is located to be a de facto CZ because it is surrounded by a fence capable of retaining deer at all times and is immediately subject to a quarantine and a herd plan administered by TAHC. In such cases, the department has designated only a SZ around the index facility. In cases where CWD is detected in a free-ranging deer or a release site associated with a positive facility, the department imposes a CZ.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has directed staff to develop guidelines or a standard operating procedure (SOP) with respect to the establishment and duration of SZs. The SOP distinguishes two scenarios: 1) the detection of CWD has been in a deer breeding facility but not at any release site associated with a breeding facility and 2) detection of CWD on a release site associated with a deer breeding facility where CWD has been detected. In the first scenario, the department will not establish a SZ if the following can be verified: 1) the disease was detected early (i.e., it has not been in the facility long); 2) the transmission mechanism and pathway are known; 3) the facility was promptly depopulated following detection; and 4) there is no evidence that free-ranging deer populations have been compromised. If any of these criteria is not satisfied, a SZ will be established, to consist of all properties that are wholly or partially located within two miles of the property containing the positive deer breeding facility. None of the discoveries necessitating this rulemaking satisfy all four criteria; thus, the department proposes the new surveillance zones described in this rulemaking.
On September 7, 2023, the department received confirmation that a six-year-old female white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Kimble County had been confirmed positive for CWD.
On October 19, 2023, the department received notification that a 14-month-old male white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Medina County was confirmed positive for CWD.
On November 14, 2023, the department received notification that a 4.4-year-old male white-tailed deer in a deer breeding facility located in Cherokee County was confirmed positive for CWD.
On December 6, 2023, department received notification that CWD was confirmed in a free-range 2.5-year-old male white-tailed deer taken by a hunter in Coleman County.
At the time this proposal was submitted to the Texas Register the department was awaiting confirmation of test results indicating that a 14-month-old male white-tailed deer in the department’s research facility at the Kerr Wildlife Management Area in Kerr County was infected with CWD.
The proposed amendment to §65.81, concerning Containment Zones; Restrictions, would create a new CZ in Coleman County.
The proposed amendment to §65.82, concerning Surveillance Zones; Restrictions, would establish new surveillance zones in Kimble, Medina, Coleman, Cherokee, and Kerr counties. The department notes that the SZs will be removed when the department is satisfied that CWD has been contained and the risk of further spread is minimal. In the case of the confirmed positive at the Kerr WMA, the department immediately euthanized and tested every deer at the facility, with no additional detections. The department believes that imposition of a SZ is necessary because the transmission pathway and agent are unknown.
2. Fiscal Note.
Robert Macdonald, Regulations Coordinator, has determined that for each of the first five years that the rules as proposed is in effect, there will be no fiscal implications to state and local governments as a result of enforcing or administering the rules as proposed, as department personnel currently allocated to the administration and enforcement of disease management activities will administer and enforce the rules as part of their current job duties and resources.
3. Public Benefit/Cost Note.
Mr. Macdonald also has determined that for each of the first five years the amendments as proposed are in effect:
(A) The public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing or administering the rules as proposed will be a reduction of the probability of CWD being spread from locations where it might exist and an increase in the probability of detecting CWD if it does exist, thus ensuring the public of continued enjoyment of the resource and also ensuring the continued beneficial economic impacts of hunting in Texas.
(B) There could be adverse economic impact on persons required to comply with the rules as proposed. Such impacts would include any monetary and time costs incurred by persons transporting harvested deer to a department check station as required, which the department has estimated will be minimal.
(C) Under the provisions of Government Code, Chapter 2006, a state agency must prepare an economic impact statement and a regulatory flexibility analysis for a rule that may have an adverse economic effect on small businesses, micro-businesses, and rural communities. As required by Government Code, §2006.002(g), in April 2008, the Office of the Attorney General issued guidelines to assist state agencies in determining a proposed rule’s potential adverse economic impact on small businesses. These guidelines state that “[g]enerally, there is no need to examine the indirect effects of a proposed rule on entities outside of an agency’s regulatory jurisdiction.” The guidelines state that an agency need only consider a proposed rule’s “direct adverse economic impacts” to small businesses and micro-businesses to determine if any further analysis is required. The guidelines also list examples of the types of costs that may result in a “direct economic impact.” Such costs may include costs associated with additional recordkeeping or reporting requirements; new taxes or fees; lost sales or profits; changes in market competition; or the need to purchase or modify equipment or services.
For the purposes of this analysis, the department considers all deer breeders to be small or microbusinesses, which ensures that the analysis captures all deer breeders possibly affected by the proposed rulemaking.
The department has determined that there are no deer breeding facilities located within the proposed new CZ in Coleman County; therefore, there would be no direct adverse economic impacts to the regulated community (i.e., permitted deer breeders) as a result of the creation of the proposed CZ in Coleman County.
The department has determined that there will be no adverse economic impacts to deer breeding facilities located within the proposed SZs. Under current rule, a deer breeding facility that is both within a SZ and MQ (Movement Qualified, which is the authorization to transfer deer) may transfer to or receive breeder deer from any other MQ deer breeding facility in this state and deer from a MQ deer breeding facility located outside a SZ may be released within a SZ if authorized by Division 2 of this subchapter. Thus, the zone designations will not result in adverse economic impacts to any deer breeders in the new SZs, provided the breeding facility enjoys MQ designation by the department. The proposed amendments will not affect deer breeding facilities designated NMQ (Non-Movement Qualified) as they cannot transfer deer under the provisions of other rules currently in effect.
To the extent that rules affect licensed hunters (by imposing check station and carcass movement restrictions), the department has determined that those components of the proposed rules involve regulation of various aspects of recreational license privileges that allow individual persons to pursue and harvest wildlife resources in this state and therefore do not directly affect small businesses, micro-businesses, or rural communities. Therefore, neither the economic impact statement nor the regulatory flexibility analysis described in Government Code, Chapter 2006, is required.
The department has determined that the proposed rule will not affect rural communities because the rule does not directly regulate any rural community.
(D) The department has not drafted a local employment impact statement under the Administrative Procedure Act, §2001.022, as the agency has determined that the rule as proposed will not result in direct impacts to local economies.
(E) The department has determined that Government Code, §2001.0225 (Regulatory Analysis of Major Environmental Rules), does not apply to the proposed rule.
(F) The department has determined that there will not be a taking of private real property, as defined by Government Code, Chapter 2007, as a result of the proposed new rule. Any impacts resulting from the discovery of CWD in or near private real property would be the result of the discovery of CWD and not the proposed rule.
(G) In compliance with the requirements of Government Code, §2001.0221, the department has prepared the following Government Growth Impact Statement (GGIS). The rule as proposed, if adopted, will:
(1) neither create nor eliminate a government program;
(2) not result in an increase or decrease in the number of full-time equivalent employee needs;
(3) not result in a need for additional General Revenue funding;
(4) not affect the amount of any fee;
(5) not create a new regulation;
(6) expand an existing regulation (by creating new areas subject to the rules governing CZs and SZs), but will otherwise not limit or repeal an existing regulation;
(7) neither increase nor decrease the number of individuals subject to regulation; and
(8) not positively or adversely affect the state’s economy.
4. Request for Public Comment.
Comments on the proposed rule may be submitted to Alan Cain, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, 4200 Smith School Road, Austin, Texas, 78744; (830) 480-4038 (e-mail: alan.cain@tpwd.texas.gov); or via the department’s website at www.tpwd.texas.gov.
5. Statutory Authority.
The amendments are proposed under the authority of Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter 43, Subchapter C, which requires the commission to adopt rules to govern the collecting, holding, possession, propagation, release, display, or transport of protected wildlife for scientific research, educational display, zoological collection, or rehabilitation; Subchapter E, which requires the commission to adopt rules for the trapping, transporting, and transplanting of game animals and game birds, urban white-tailed deer removal, and trapping and transporting surplus white-tailed deer; Subchapter L, which authorizes the commission to make regulations governing the possession, transfer, purchase, sale, of breeder deer held under the authority of the subchapter; Subchapters R and R-1, which authorize the commission to establish the conditions of a deer management permit for white-tailed and mule deer, respectively; and §61.021, which provides that no person may possess a game animal at any time or in any place except as permitted under a proclamation of the commission.
The proposed amendments affect Parks and Wildlife Code, Chapter 43, Subchapters C, E, L, R, R-1, and Chapter 61.
