Relating to fee waivers for certain hunting and fishing licenses for honorably discharged veterans 65 years old or older.
This bill would allow honorably discharged veterans aged 65 or older in Texas to receive free hunting and fishing licenses. It adds this group to existing fee waiver categories under Texas Parks and Wildlife law, covering both individual licenses and combination hunting/fishing licenses. The waiver applies only to licenses issued on or after September 1, 2025, with no refunds for licenses purchased before that date. The policy directly affects eligible veterans seeking these recreational licenses through the Parks and Wildlife Department.
