What to keep for Travis County
Whether or not Travis County asks for a report this year, keep dated proof that you carried out at least three of the seven wildlife management practices in your plan:
- A log of each activity: the date, what you did, where and how much
- Dated photos of the work (feeders, water, brush piles, cleared brush)
- Receipts and invoices for feed, seed, materials and contractors
- Census sheets with dates, routes and numbers seen
Read our plain-English guide to the annual report (PWD-888) for the full 3-of-7 rule, or see deadlines for other counties.

Travis County habitat: Edwards Plateau
Texas Parks and Wildlife places Travis County in the Edwards Plateau ecoregion. Its Edwards Plateau wildlife management guidelines set the minimum work for each practice. A few examples:
- Habitat control: Brush management: treat at least 10% of the plan area or 10 acres per year, whichever is smaller.
- Supplemental food: Feeders: at least 1 free-choice feeder per 320 acres in use during the recommended period, with feed of at least 16% crude protein.
- Supplemental water: Wildlife watering facility (well, trough, guzzler): at least one project per 10 years, or consistent water management at existing sites.
- Census counts: Spotlight counts: at least 3 counts, or at least 15 surveyed miles, completed each year.
Your own plan may set different targets. Log what you actually do against it, with dates and photos.
