Mountain Lion in Texas

Mountain lions are uncommon, secretive native predators most strongly associated in Texas with the Trans-Pecos, South Texas brushlands and portions of the Hill Country. They use remote mountains, canyonlands and other landscapes with adequate cover and prey. Because Texas monitoring and regulations can change, natural-history and legal guidance should be checked against current TPWD resources rather than inferred from old sighting maps.
