Before you go

A Texas fishing licence runs $30 a year for residents. TPWD sets the rules and is the one that counts.

What you may keep

TPWD sets a size or bag limit for 30 species here — 28 with at least one area open today. Where a species is open in one water and closed in another, its own page says which. Each page carries the agency's own figures, the date they were read, and what is still unsettled.

Can you eat what you catch?

That call belongs to Texas Department of State Health Services (Texas DSHS) — an interactive viewer shows advisories and possession bans by waterbody. We link the source instead of paraphrasing health advice.
