NO IT IS NOT. I have spoken with Parks and WIldlife about it rather extensively, verbally and by mail. These are direct quotations:

It has been killed by an illegal means (vehicles are not a legal means &

method to hunt in Texas using that vehicle) and it was taken on a public

road right-of-way (highway, street, avenue, county road, farm market rd,

etc.).

A hunting or fishing license is used to take, harvest, catch, kill

wildlife species by legal means & methods listed for that species on

private property or public hunting lands.

Every single road kill is not suitable for delivery to food banks or charities, due to their severity of the injury from impact and not knowing just when and how long that animal has been there.

Yes, there are those out there who DO use their vehicle to attempt to take game animals and game birds; illegal individuals/poachers and those up to no good and our game wardens do catch and apprehend those that have done so. Therefore, it is not allowed.

Vultures and other scavengers are the reason why those species are protected since they are the states and other states 'clean-up crew' for road kill.

The amount of deer that are killed on our roadways each year are only a slight fraction and almost non-existent as compared to the thousands of pounds of game donated to the Hunters for the Hungry each year.

Yes, it is legal to pick up roadkill in Texas for consumption purposes with the proper permit from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. However, it is illegal to possess roadkill for commercial purposes without the proper permit.

Are there any laws on picking up roadkill?

Strangely enough, I believe in England, if I run down and killed a pheasant, stopped and picked up the dead bird to eat, I would be classed as poaching. But if the car behind stopped and picked up the dead pheasant, that would be roadkill, and legal. To be on the safe side, just ensure there is nobody about - bon appétit!

What is Texas law on road kill?

It's illegal to pick up roadkill. Texas Parks and Wildlife has told me (direct quote from correspondence) "It has been killed by an illegal means (vehicles are not a legal means & method to hunt in Texas using that vehicle) and it was taken on a public road right-of-way (highway, street, avenue, county road, farm market rd, etc.)." I pointed out I was in possession of a valid hunting license the last time a deer ran into the side of my vehicle, it hit me, not I it...and I quote: "A hunting or fishing license is used to take, harvest, catch, kill wildlife species by legal means & methods listed for that species on private property or public hunting lands."
