Time to register your livestock brands, signage
Body
In Texas, if a livestock owner uses brands, earmarks, tattoos, or electronic devices to mark their cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, or horses, they must register the brands with the county clerk. See Texas Agric. Code Sections 144.001; 144.041. Brands must be registered at the county clerk’s office in any county where the livestock resides. See Texas Agric. Code Section 144.041. For example, if you have livestock both in Van Zandt County and in Kaufman County, you will need to ensure that your brand is registered at both of those county clerks’ offices. The registration will require identifying the brand itself, along with the location where the brand or other identifying information is placed on the animal. See Texas Agric. Code Section 144.042.
