Flying a drone over Texas Wildlife requires specific licenses & permits (both for commercial or personal use). According to Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) regulations: “Except under permits issued by Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, the use of drones to hunt, drive, capture, take, count or photograph any wildlife is unlawful. Requirements include an Aerial Management Permit (AMP) issued by TPWD and an approved Land Owner Authorization (LOA).” Cited Here

Rio Vision is fully compliant with these legal requirements. We maintain a current Aerial Management Permit with TPWD, ensure all drone equipment is properly registered, and operate exclusively with FAA-licensed pilots. This ensures every wildlife survey is conducted legally, ethically, and with the highest level of professionalism.
