Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:00:48 GMT

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Among a slew of new legislation signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott this month comes enhanced legal protections for trap-neuter-return programs, or tactics for treating unhoused cats statewide.Previously, people who participated in TNR programs in areas without legal protections could be held liable for the misdemeanor offense of animal abandonment.
