What is the legality of owning a goat in Texas?



I want to get one just to irritate my roomates.



I found the following "Livestock Laws of Texas", but they seem to only apply to exotic animals, not goats.



I live in city limits and have a fenced in backyard.



I will also check city laws too.

The blow-up type are cheaper, and you don't have to feed them. Thats what Id do if I was in your situation.

There is going to be a goat in a silent auction, and I doubt anyone will bid on it. Too bad I don't have a place to keep it.



Just saw that my city mandates goats be stored 100+ feet from other houses. I live in a residential area. I am kind of sad now.

Better idea.

Buy it... When the city complains, put up an ad at the local mexican grocery store....

Profit.

Tell them it's not a goat.


Tell them it's an automatic lawn maintenance and fertilization device.

Should be okay. I have a friend with a hippy chick friend and she's got rabbits and chickens in her backyard. She made egg salad sandwiches with the fresh eggs! The standards may be different for one goat versus a herd of goats...

It is your 1st amendment right to serve what ever goat you choose.

Not mentioned in the amendment: accountability
