Texas · Mullet

Can you keep a mullet in Texas?

Yes, with limits

Statewide

Open year-round
Size
No size limit stated
total length
Daily bag
per person per day

No minimum size and no daily bag limit for most of the year — but mullet over 12 inches may not be taken from public water or possessed aboard a boat at all during October, November, December and January. The maximum size, not a season closure, is what changes here, so it is carried in this note rather than as a date-based rule.
