TSCRA Daily News Update, April 22, 2008
Correction to the Dimmit, Maverick and Web fever tick quarantine zone In an article released by the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) Thursday, April 17, a typographical error resulted in the inaccurate description of the temporary fever tick quarantine zone for Dimmit, Webb and Maverick counties. Only a small area of the temporary fever tick quarantine zone near Carrizo Springs has been excluded from the zone. The official boundary for the modified temporary fever tick quarantine zone begins in Eagle Pass at the intersection of FM 1021 (Mines Road) and U.S. Highway 277 and continues to the junction with Loop 225 (also known as 5th Street) in Carrizo Springs. The boundary follows Loop 225 to its intersection with US Highway 83 in Carrizo Springs. The boundary moves south on US Highway 83 until it turns southwest on FM 2688 and continues to FM 1021 (Mines Road). The boundary then follows the Mines Road to its point of origination at the intersection of US Highway 277 in Eagle Pass. Livestock may be moved legally from or within the permanent or temporary fever tick quarantine areas only after they are inspected for fever ticks, dipped or sprayed and permitted for movement by Tick Force or TAHC personnel. If you have questions regarding procedures or the boundaries of the fever tick quarantine zone, please contact the USDA Tick Force in Laredo at 956/726-2228, or in Carrizo Springs at 830/876-9782.
