Worried about a quarantine? New World screwworm movement restriction zones work much different than other infectious disease quarantines.

✅Animals can still move! Animals are able to move into and out of the zone as soon as they meet TAHC requirements.

✅Checkpoints are quick and simple! Trailers moving through an infested zone must stop at TAHC checkpoints. If animals are coming from outside of an infested zone and intend to keep moving through the zone to an address outside of the zone, they will receive educational outreach and be allowed to keep moving.

✅TAHC will work with you to avoid interrupting continuity of business! Call the TAHC as soon as you know you want to move animals out of an infested zone. We will schedule an inspection and advise you on how to meet requirements to keep your animals moving safely.

One week ago, after an incredibly difficult stretch of fires across our area, we launched this matching gift campaign for the Tulia Volunteer Fire Department.

And honestly, we’ve been overwhelmed by the generosity of Tulia and the surrounding communities. Individuals, businesses, families, farmers, clubs, and organizations have stepped up in such a big way to support the people who protect us all.

Thanks to that incredible support, we’ve already raised $9,950 toward our $16,000 matching goal. That means we’re getting closer to turning this campaign into $32,000 for the department.

Jolly Crop Insurance, Street Community Gin, and Tulia Veterinary Supply are continuing to match every public donation dollar-for-dollar.

This year alone, our department has already answered more calls than all of last year, and the need is very real.

You can still donate at any of these businesses, send through Cash App, or mail checks directly to the fire department. Every donation, large or small, will continue to be doubled until we reach the goal.
