The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) implemented a monitored elk herd program on January 1, 2010, to aid in the rapid detection of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The program in its inception was intended to allow elk producers to continue to move their animals intrastate while working to achieve a monitored "herd status" under TAHC oversight. In an effort to encourage more participation in the surveillance program, the TAHC is now extending the original enrollment process for another year, until January 1, 2012.

The Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) issued a Temporary Preventative Quarantine for portions of Maverick, Dimmit and Webb Counties on August 2, 2007. The TAHC is now modifying that boundary as the areas currently within the zone have met the requirements for quarantine release.
