A lot of federal lands are leased to cattle ranchers throughout the west. I don’t know about Texas in particular but this will have an effect on cattle on federal lands

House votes to save wild horses, burros

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to expand the range of the nation’s wild horses and burros by millions of acres and to block a plan to kill thousands of the animals to prevent overgrazing.
The bill passed 239-185 Friday.

Supporters say the additional land and other measurers are needed to free thousands of mustangs and burros from holding pens and to prevent their slaughter.

Well, they won’t get away with that in Texas. About 95% of land here is privately owned. The only public lands are a few National Forests in East Texas, and Big Bend National Park.
