Official Texas resources
Planning a hunt in Texas
Texas Parks and Wildlife’s public hunting resources are the starting point for selecting an official public-hunt opportunity. Identify the named area or hunt and keep its current map and instructions with your plan.
Check which license, permit, application or reservation applies to that particular opportunity before making travel plans. Public-hunt access and ordinary public ownership are different questions. Confirm the entry and parking location from the official area information, and do not infer permission to cross neighboring land from a route drawn on aerial imagery.
Check the property and the route
Read the property's current rules, closures and permit requirements. Confirm parking and every part of the approach; a public parcel can be surrounded by private land. A road or path visible on imagery is not proof of public access. Resolve uncertain boundaries with the managing agency.
Use with Free Hunting Map
Open Layers and enable relevant PAD-US public-land manager categories. Compare topo and aerial imagery, mark verified parking and save notes for the spots you plan to check. PAD-US is a planning aid, not a legal boundary or hunting-permission map; parcel coverage in the app is limited to Wisconsin.
View your approach at the zoom levels you need and test the cached map offline before leaving. Keep official property maps and rules with your trip materials.
