State law doesn't actually trump city or county law, however city or county laws cannot be more permissive than state laws, only more restrictive. TX law states any hybrid of a serval is considered a dangerous wild animal, so although Guadalupe county is saying they don't recognize Savannahs as such, legally they cannot make that statement. On the other hand TX law says that is will defer to each county to handle their own DWA problems, so even though by state law it is illegal to own a Savannah without a permit (and liabilitiy insurance, and special housing, etc.), it sounds like Guadalupe - at this time - won't bother you. The problem arises when there is a turnover of politicians and you get an AR person in a position of power, then you may find a complete reversal of their stance (which, even if it is a written statute which I doubt, would not be legal).
