The 411 on 311...

So here is a little tip if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a dead animal on the freeway or any other city street...

For those of us in the great nation of Texas, 311 is helpful in removal of these animals as long as they are not located on private property.  However, if the animals are located on an exit ramp or feeder road, this removal is the responsibility of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).  To report an issue in your local area, they can be reached toll free at (800) 558-9368.

Unfortunately, in the last few days, I have had to report two large dogs that had been hit (apparently by numerous vehicles) on the highway.
