It is a statewide problem, I dealt with it for many years... People have attempted to control them.... Texas is full of invasive species; plants, animals and fish... That's from private land ownership and unchecked agriculture...
It would be a revolutionary act for the state to enter all these private lands to eradicate hogs; people will get pretty upset.
Now lots of people pay hog hunters to get them out, many hog hunters are unscrupulous and release them to keep their business going. High fence hunting ranches also keep them.... So the well to do can come down and kill one like and pose like a warrior...
So if a person wants to hunt hogs in Texas they must pay a hunting lease, pay for a canned hunt, own property or know someone who does.
