African American Cattle Brands
African American Cattle and Brands
According to Mr. Everett L. Fly, renown historian, more than 70 cattle brands were registered by African Americans in Bexar County Texas between 1852 and 1930. The African American brands provided on this listing were found in the Spanish Archives of the Bexar County, Texas Deed Records. https://bexar.tx.publicsearch.us/
Texas does not have a statewide brand registry database. Texas counties may have county-level brand archives. Brands must be registered in the county or counties in which you operate.
Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (TSCRA) cooperates with the 254 County Court Clerks offices to provide the Texas Brand Registration site.
