LanclOwner's Authorization to Manage Wildlife or Exotic Animals by Aircraft
Helpful hints for completing the LOA on the reverse side of this form:
• IMPORTANT: The Aerial Permit Holder is responsible for the completion of the information required on the reverse
side of this form.
• A LOA is valid for the life of the permit unless the permit expires without renewal, is suspended or revoked; or, if the LOA
specifies a certain time period, then the LOA will be valid for that specified time.
• For each noncontiguous piece of property, an LOA application must be complete and clearly legible, with all information
supplied on each application. Deficiencies or the inability to read any required information will result in rejection of an
application.
• The areas of information that most commonly result in rejection are landowner's name and address, location of property, and
activity to be performed.
• The location description should read in the format as follows: approximately 25 miles northwest of Hwy. 59 at FM 1431. This is
what is described as the "Location from nearest numbered highway intersection."
• Landowner information must be supplied for each property, regardless of any authorized agent listed.
• An Authorized Agent is an individual authorized by the landowner to provide signed consent to manage a specified number of
wildlife or exotic animals from an aircraft on certain property. If a landowner wishes to allow the aerial permit holder or
employee of the helicopter company to provide signed consent, then the landowner should provide a written authorization to
that individual.
• The "type of management to be performed" should reflect all proposed aerial management activities.
• Count/Photograph requires only the name of the species to be counted and/or photographed. The number of animals or birds
is not required.
• Relocate/Herd is for wildlife that needs to be relocated (i.e., one pasture to another) by herding with an aircraft. No actual
possession of the wildlife takes place.
• Take is the hunting and killing of certain wildlife. The law only allows the hunting of bobcats, coyotes, coyote/dog crosses, feral
hogs, red foxes, and exotic animals. Some exotic animals are protected by federal law; therefore, be aware of those species
when requesting authorization to take. The name of the species and the number of animals and birds must be clearly identified
on the LOA. The number requested to take/hunt is the maximum number that may be taken in any single calendar year.
• Capture of wildlife by the use of an aircraft is when actual possession of wildlife takes place. The name of the species and the
number of animals and birds must be clearly identified on the LOA. The capture LOA is valid until the capture activity is
complete or expiration date of the LOA, whichever is sooner. For capture of all game animals and game birds, a valid DMP
(Deer Management Permit), TTT (Trap, Transport and Transplant), TTP (Trap, Transport and Process), or SPR (Scientific
Research) Permit is REQUIRED.
• Sport hunting from an aircraft is a violation of both state and federal law. Hunt includes capture, trap, take or kill or the
attempt to capture, trap, take or kill. It is an offense for a person to pay, barter, or exchange anything of value to participate as
a gunner or observer. (NOTE: Anytime money or anything of value changes hands for the privilege or opportunity to hunt any
animal(s) from the aircraft, it will likely be considered to be sport hunting. This includes a scenario where a person at a
fundraiser "purchases" or "makes a donation to the cause" for the hunting opportunity, regardless of the recipient of the
donation or proceeds. The only exception would be that of a regularly paid employee of the involved AWM permitted
individual or company, or landowner, who is hunting depredating animals as part of duties prescribed by his employer.)
The provisions of the law governing wildlife are subject to changes by the Texas Legislature and Parks and Wildlife Commission. As
changes occur, the information contained herein shall be amended to reflect the specific changes.
