The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is considering changes to regulations for 2015 and seeking public comments.
The first consideration is to close spring eastern turkey hunting in 11 East Texas counties, restructure the season in two other counties and extend the youth-only fall turkey season. For complete details on the proposed changes, read the TPWD news release.

The TPWD is also considering adjustments to bass length limits on several lakes, a change in alligator gar bag limit on Falcon Lake and clarifications to commercial crab and finfish rules. Click here for more information.
