The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) is surveying the public regarding amendments to its digital licensing and tagging requirements.
According to a news release, the proposed amendments would “expand digital license and tag options to all recreational hunting, fishing, combo license and tag types.”
Introduced in 2022, TPWD has expanded the digital licensing and tagging program with multiple options for both hunting and fishing tags.
At an Industry Insider — Texas member-exclusive briefing in December of last year, TPWD CIO Jamie McClanahan pointed to the digital licensing program as one that the agency is eyeing for upcoming modernization efforts, which could entail automation upgrades.
Additional details on the proposed regulation changes can be found on the public comment page and in the Texas Register.
Texas Parks and Wildlife commissioners will take public comment on the proposed changes and consider public input at its March 27 public hearing. Comments on each amendment can be provided on the TPWD public comment page through 5 p.m. March 26.
