Species in Texas

Tracking Federal Action

Keeping Texas First provides information on species found in Texas that are:

  • on current watch because they have received or are slated for federal review within the next five years, including those that are of high interest due to the potential impact of federal action and because they spotlight key issues concerning the listing process; and/or
  • already listed as federally threatened or endangered (to provide context for the current regulatory environment).

Tracking federal action related to the regulation of species habitat is an ongoing exercise that requires constant monitoring.

Every effort is made to keep the information on this site as current as possible, but in some cases recent actions may not be reflected due to the ever-changing landscape of the endangered species petition and listing review process.
