Colby, some of what Scott has posted is his own fear. I researched the problem at TPWD and below is a copy and paste all in red is from their website
NUISANCE FUR-BEARING ANIMALS
Landowners or their agents may take nuisance fur-bearing animals in any number by any means at any time on that person's land without the need for a hunting or trapping license. However, fur-bearing animals or their pelts taken for these purposes may not be retained or possessed by anyone at any time except licensed trappers during the lawful open season and possession periods.
Nuisance fur-bearing animals may be captured and relocated if the person has received authorization from the department and the owner of the property where the release will occur. A monthly report is required and must be submitted to the department on number and kind of fur-bearers captured, location of release site, name and address of person authorized to release.
it seems easier to kill them than relocate them and that is ass backwards.
any time by any means seems clear enough, because it is your personal property!
