Harris County Commissioner Steve Radack says anyone who attacks an animal in captivity "is just the lowest of the low."
Authorities say someone cut through a remote fence to reach the animal, taking the deer's head and antlers. The carcass was left behind.
Taxidermy shops in the Houston area were being advised about the crime.
