Texas Livestock Branding
Texas uses a county-based brand registration system rather than statewide registration. Brands must be registered in each county where livestock are operated. The Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) provides an unofficial online brand search tool covering brands from cooperating counties across the state.
