Gray triggerfish identification illustration — side view for checking Texas size limits
Gray triggerfish, drawn to show the marks that identify it. It is an illustration, not a photo — where identification decides a fine, TPWD is the authority.

Statewide

Open year-round
Size limit 16 inches and up total length
Daily bag 20 per person per day
Possession 40 total you may hold

16 inches, a genuine 20 a day — the real, standalone number confirmed in TPWD's raw page markup, not an aggregate total mistaken for a per-species figure. Neighbouring Gulf states cap this species at 1 a day inside a shared 20-fish reef aggregate; Texas does not use that aggregate system at all.
