What Counties in Texas are Free Range?

Texas is an open range state, but counties can hold elections to become closed range and require that livestock be fenced. In the early 20th century, many Texas counties voted to become closed range. It is important to check with your county to determine the current distribution law in your area. Johnson County is currently a closed range county for certain livestock animals.

A county is open range unless voters have voted to make it closed range through a local stock option election.
