Relating to the identification of breeder deer.

HB 3831 requires deer breeders in Texas to identify breeder deer by March 31 each year using either a visible ear tag or an approved electronic device. The electronic device must be USDA-approved, have a 15-digit ID starting with 840, and follow specific placement rules (e.g., button tags on ears, implants not in edible muscle). Breeders must register device numbers in a state database, and the device serves as required identification for deer removal under wildlife laws. This bill directly affects licensed deer breeders operating under Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations.
