Texas hunting, fishing licenses on sale currently

AUSTIN — Summer is winding down and fall is on the horizon which means it’s time for hunters and anglers to renew hunting and fishing licenses. Before taking the boat out or hitting the field, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) reminds hunters and anglers to purchase their new licenses for the 2026-27 season.

Current-year Texas hunting and fishing licenses (except the Yearfrom- Purchase All-Water Fishing Package) expire at the end of August. Licenses for the 2026-27 season go on sale Aug. 15.

Texans purchase more than 3 million hunting and fishing licenses annually, directly funding a magnitude of conservation efforts and recreational opportunities. Fish stocking, wildlife management, habitat restoration, public hunting leases, river access sites and conservation law enforcement by Texas Game Wardens are just some of the many projects made possible by license sales.
