Did you know that 100% of your fishing and hunting combo license fees goes to conservation?

It's true. Your license fees go to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for on-the-ground conservation efforts that help make Texas one of the best places in the country to fish and hunt. Fish stocking, wildlife management, public hunting, habitat restoration and Texas Game Wardens are just some of the things funded in part by your license purchase.

Thanks for helping us keep Texas fishing and hunting great!
