Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the global existence of solutions to a hyperbolic-parabolic model of chemotaxis arising in the theory of reinforced random walks. To get $ L^2$-estimates of solutions, we construct a nonnegative convex entropy of the corresponding hyperbolic system. The higher energy estimates are obtained by the energy method and a priori assumptions.
