Legal Reminders--Time for hunters, anglers to buy new licenses, permits ahead of new fiscal year

September 1 marks the beginning of a new fiscal year for the folks at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Time for Texas hunters and anglers to pay the piper and get their paperwork in order.

New Texas hunting and fishing licenses, along with assorted stamp endorsements and permits valid for fiscal year 2024-25, went on sale statewide August 15. If you haven’t purchased a new license yet, you need to take care of business soon.

Most current licenses and permits expire at midnight on August 31. The exceptions are year-frompurchase fishing licenses, lifetime licenses and Lake Texoma fishing licenses.
