Fort Worth (Tarrant County) wildlife quote prep
A Fort Worth “groundhog” usually isn’t one — and Texas bans relocating raccoons and skunks
Fort Worth is the seat of Tarrant County in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, where raccoons, opossums, skunks, squirrels, and armadillos are the common structure and yard callers. Two things help scope a Fort Worth job: groundhogs are not naturally found here, so a burrowing-animal call is usually something else, and Texas law limits how a trapped animal can be handled — so describe the animal, the burrow or entry point, and the activity before quoting.
Groundhogs (woodchucks) are not naturally found around Fort Worth — the only Tarrant County record is a single released animal from 1964, hundreds of miles west of the species’ range — so a “groundhog” or burrowing-animal call here is usually an armadillo or another digger; describe the burrow (under a slab, deck, shed, or foundation) so the provider identifies the right species.
Texas makes it illegal to transport a live raccoon, skunk, fox, or coyote, and doing so is a Class C misdemeanor, so DIY catch-and-release is not lawful — the route is a licensed operator using one-way exclusion and sealing rather than relocation.
The Virginia opossum is common in DFW yards and dens under porches, decks, and sheds; it is highly resistant to rabies and a female may be carrying young in her pouch, so note whether you see active denning or just a passing animal so the quote matches the scope.
In Texas the animals most often found with rabies are skunks, bats, coyotes, and foxes, so keep pets and children back and report any bite or exposure to your local rabies-control authority; route nuisance-wildlife and relocation questions to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Local request details
Before you book in Fort Worth
Wildlife Pros Now connects callers with wildlife removal providers. The local provider confirms final availability, service method, pricing, legal restrictions, cleanup needs, and exclusion options before you book.
Confirm the species
Share what you saw, what you heard, the time of day, and whether there are droppings, odor, nesting material, or visible damage.
Identify access
