With all new illustrations, color photographs, revised species accounts, updated maps, and a sturdy flexible binding, this new edition of the authoritative guide to bats in Texas will serve as the field guide and all-around reference of choice for amateur naturalists as well as mammalogists, wildlife biologists, and professional conservationists. Texas is home to all four families of bats that occur in the United States, including thirty-three species of these important yet increasingly threatened mammals. Although five species, each represented by a single specimen, may be regarded as vagrants, no other state has a bat fauna more diverse, from the state’s most common species, the Brazilian free-tailed bat, to the rare hairy-legged vampire. The introductory chapter of this new edition of Bats of Texas surveys bats in general—their appearance, distribution, classification, evolution, biology, and life history—and discusses public health and bat conservation. An updated account for each species follows, with pictures by an outstanding nature photographer, distribution maps, and a thorough bibliography. Bats of Texas also features revised and illustrated dichotomous keys accompanied by gracefully detailed line drawings to aid in identification. A list of specimens examined is located at batsoftexas.com.

Texas has thirty-two bat species, more than any other state. Bats rank among the state's most beneficial and fascinating allies. The majority eat insects, with just one colony consuming billions in a single night. Others are essential pollinators of desert plants. No other group of Texas mammals is more diverse or important to the balance of nature. This guide, produced by Bat Conservation International and the Texas Parks and Wildlife department, includes descriptions of Texas's bats, photographs, and range maps. It will convince readers that the bats' fearsome reputation is greatly undeserved.

Bats submitted to the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) for rabies testing often provide insight to changes in species distributions. Between 2012 and 2019, more than 16,000 bats were received by DSHS in Austin, Texas, identified morphologically, and tested for rabies. Approximately 10,900 bats tested negative, and a subset of these were then archived at the Angelo State Natural History Collections in San Angelo, Texas. A total of 175 specimens reported herein substantiate 92 new county records (including 11 instances of range extensions for five species) including one phyllostomid, 12 vespertilionid, and one molossid species. Two significant findings include a new species of bat for the state (Leptonycteris yerbabuenae) and the second record of Myotis occultus in more than 100 years. The majority of the new records were for Nycticeius humeralis with 38 county records supported by vouchered specimens. Though not collected by traditional methods, these records revise our understanding of chiropteran distributional patterns within the state of Texas.
