What the South Texas Plains region means for your plan
The famous South Texas brush country. Strip-mowing, browse management, water developments and quail/deer habitat work dominate wildlife plans here.
Texas Parks & Wildlife publishes separate wildlife-planning guidelines per ecoregion, and appraisal districts hold plans to their region's standards.
