While Austin\u2019s Travis county is not one of those places, many states are instituting health documentation requirements for animals traveling from Texas.

We have linked to that page at <a href="https://nagdu.org/screwworm"><span style='color:#3983C4'>NAGDU.org/screwworm</span></a>. In general, states that require documentation are requiring a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, also known as a CVI, issued within 3 to 7 days of travel.
