AUSTIN — Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill that allows Texas residents to kill feral hogs without a license, according to state legislature records. The bill was proposed by Republican Sen. Bryan Hughes of Mineola. According to our news partner KETK, it received a large amount of support and was signed by Abbott on Friday. It was passed unanimously in the Texas Senate in April and only received two “no” votes in the House. The bill states that a landowner does not have to prove that the feral hog caused damage to property before killing it.
