Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) will merge portions of the Fort Worth region with the Lampasas and Mount Pleasant regions on June 29, 2018.

The Lampasas region will gain Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard, Hardeman, Haskell, Hood, Jack, Jones, Knox, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Shackelford, Somervell, Stephens, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, Wise and Young counties. The Mount Pleasant region will gain Cooke, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Johnson and Tarrant counties. 

The Lampasas region office is located at 1305 South Key Avenue, Suite 204, Lampasas, Texas 76550, and may be reached at 512-556-6277. Dr. Pete Fincher will serve as the region director and Ann Wagner will be the supervising inspector.
