Relating to access to land managed by the Parks and Wildlife Department from adjacent privately owned land; authorizing a fee.

HB 4545 allows owners of private land adjacent to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department-managed areas to apply for access gates connecting their property to state land. The bill requires the department to review applications within 90 days, considering environmental impact, safety, and legal compliance before approving or denying requests. If approved, owners must sign an agreement outlining gate usage restrictions (like hours and purpose), maintenance responsibilities, liability protections for the department, and conditions for revoking access. A fee is authorized to cover administrative costs, though the exact amount isn’t specified. This directly affects private landowners bordering state parks or wildlife areas seeking access for personal or agricultural use.
