Your Must-Have Fishing Resource
Spring fishing is heating up! Before you head to the water, make sure you know the regulations. The Outdoor Annual is your go-to resource for Texas fishing regulations.
 There are 3 easy ways to access this year's Outdoor Annual:
- Visit OutdoorAnnual.com
- Use the Outdoor Annual mobile app
- Print your own – use the printable files to print all or part of the fishing portion of the regulations (PDF) at home or a local library
Due to economic impacts of the pandemic, there are no printed copies of the Outdoor Annual available at license retailers for this fishing season (Sept. 1, 2020-Aug. 31, 2021) . If you have questions or comments about the Outdoor Annual, please email us at OutdoorAnnual@tpwd.texas.gov.
