Are pet foxes are legal in Texas?

Answer 1

we have a den of red foxes under our deck....the 4 pups act like dog puppies and play, run, fight with one another....we know the adult is nearby and see her occasionally. they run and hide when we go outside....found a devoured deer fawn head on the deck....very much wild animals....no squirrels, snakes, etc. coming around yard.....outside cat has moved to someone else's house for the last 2 weeks....rarely see her now. they are very enjoyable to observe but they are wildlife and not pets.

Answer 2

No, it is illegal to keep native foxes as pets as all native foxes are considered quarantine animals due to the possibility of rabies. Some exotic species are allowed as pets, however, The red fox, gray fox and kit fox are native species and not allowed as pets.
