You can, in fact, catch exceptions thrown by a custom tag within your calling page. Not all errors are exceptions, though - if you have a misspelled CFML tag in your custom tag, that will create a parsing error which occurs before runtime, rather than a runtime exception. In addition, the CFTRY block within your calling page has to contain CFCATCH blocks with the appropriate types: no type specified (which is equivalent to TYPE="ANY", more or less), TYPE="Application", or some custom type that's thrown by the custom tag using CFTHROW.
