AUSTIN - The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is aware of recent public interest regarding the transport of Mexican gray wolves through the state. We want to clarify that no Mexican gray wolves have been released in Texas, nor are there any plans to release wolves in the state.
The U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Mexican Wolf Program imports and exports wolves between the United States and Mexico to strengthen the genetic diversity and long-term viability of the Mexican gray wolf population. Questions regarding the DOI-USFWS Mexican Wolf Program should be directed to USFWS Region 2 Communications Director Aislinn Maestas at 505-331-9280 or [email protected].
