The Wildlife Services (WS) program in Texas helps citizens, organizations, industries, and Government agencies resolve conflicts with wildlife to protect agriculture, other property, and natural resources, and to safeguard human health and safety. WS' professional wildlife biologists and specialists implement effective, selective, and responsible strategies that value wildlife, the environment, and the resources being protected. WS manages wildlife damage according to its public trust stewardship responsibilities as a Federal natural resource management program. WS supports the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, based on the principle that wildlife resources are owned collectively and held in trust by Government for the benefit of present and future generations.

Texas is a diverse mix of urban and suburban areas, agricultural lands, forest, and desert environments and is home to more than 22 million people. Texas has more farms (157,000) and farm acreage than any other State. At the same time, Texas has 24 cities with populations of 100,000 or more. This combination of wildlife, people, and their associated conflicts makes the WS-Texas program the largest wildlife damage management program in the United States. Each year the Agency provides service on more than 5,000 properties covering more than 17 million acres.

WS frequently provides information, advice, equipment, and materials that enable people to resolve wildlife conflicts on their own. Often, this technical assistance can be provided in person, by telephone or through the mail or internet. During 2014, WS delivered technical advice and recommendations to more than 1.6 million people.
