Plans for a light rail system in the RGV are gaining momentum. Dr. Armando O’Caña, former mayor of Mission and now a board member of the Triangle Railroad Holding Company (TRHC), shared that the project aims to connect the region with a light rail line stretching from Brownsville to Roma, with future expansions to Laredo, Houston, and San Antonio.

The system will include 14 strategically located stations, with stops near South Padre Island, the Outlets in Mercedes, McAllen Airport, and Mission Central Station.

New Pet Ordinance in McAllen: What You Need to Know
The McAllen City Commission has unanimously passed a new ordinance capping the number of pets per household at eight. This measure comes after recent animal ***** ding cases in the city raised concerns about public health and animal welfare.

Pet Cap: Residents are now limited to eight pets per household.
No-Cost Permit: Those wishing to exceed the limit can apply for a no-cost permit, which includes city inspections to ensure proper care and sanitary conditions. A fee may be charged at a later time to recoup administrative fees.

This new ordinance is expected to be implemented in about six months, with ongoing efforts to educate the public and encourage voluntary compliance.

McAllen Considers New Animal Ordinance

McAllen, TX — In response to recent high-profile animal hoarding cases, the City of McAllen is considering a new ordinance to limit the number of cats and dogs that can be housed in a single residence. This move aims to address public health and welfare concerns for both residents and animals.

Proposed Ordinance Details
The initial proposal sets a cap of four (4) adult cats or dogs, or a combination thereof, per residence. Residents wishing to exceed this number would need to apply for an Excess Animal Permit. The ordinance also includes provisions for permit issuance based on factors such as space, adequate food and water, shelter, sanitary conditions, noise level, and up-to-date vaccinations.

Meeting Highlights
During the city council meeting on July 22, 2024, the ordinance was reviewed and some recommendations were made:

Cap Increase Consideration: Commissioners discussed increasing the cap from four to six or even eight animals per residence.

Permit Fee: The proposed fee for the Excess Animal Permit was $50. However, this fee was debated, with some suggesting it be reduced or eliminated altogether.

Exclusions for Foster Animals: Commissioner Victor "Seby" Haddad proposed that foster animals should not be counted towards the cap, as they are typically temporary.

Emphasis on Spay and Neuter Programs: Many comments surrounding the importance of implementing robust spay and neuter programs.

City Management's Input
City Manager Roy Ramirez explained that the ordinance would provide an opportunity to engage with residents who have large numbers of animals and offer neighbors a chance to report concerns. Ramirez noted that significant improvements have been made in animal care over the past few years, with further advancements expected.

Revisions will be made and an updated version will be brought in the upcoming session or the next.
