According to survey results, 53.6% of respondents identified themselves as NBU employees, 25.3% as NBU clients. Partic- ipants disclosed their satisfaction with current NBU services. Of those surveyed, 33% and 29% were satisfied or very satisfied respectively.

City aims to slow deer population growth In light of the hundreds of annual white-tailed deer car accidents and other associated issues, city officials will be partnering with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department to manage the population and lower it to levels that are more sustainable for the animals and the environment.
What’s happening While deer estimates are unknown in the city, the number of dead deer picked up annually points to a continued rise in population, said Jessica Alderson, a wildlife biologist with the TPWD. City staff will work through the winter to create a report on the status of the deer population and to create a plan for moving forward by the spring. Once proper outreach is completed and the consensus among the community is positive, the city can then apply for the appropriate permit and begin trapping in time for the season next October.
