HB 761 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to fee waivers for certain hunting and fishing licenses for honorably discharged veterans.

HB 761 waives hunting and fishing license fees for honorably discharged veterans in Texas. It directly affects veterans who served in the U.S. armed forces and received an honorable discharge, making these licenses free for them. The bill amends state law to require the Parks and Wildlife Commission to waive fees for veterans under specific sections of the code, covering both individual licenses and combination hunting/fishing licenses. This change applies only to licenses issued on or after September 1, 2025, with no refunds for licenses purchased before that date.
