Frequently asked questions
How much is a fishing license in Texas?
An annual resident fishing license is $30; non-residents pay $58. Short-term (1-day/7-day) licenses are usually available for less. Trout/salmon stamps may be extra where required.
How much is a hunting license in Texas?
The annual resident hunting license is $25 ($315 non-resident) — but that's the base license. Deer, elk, turkey, and other big-game tags are purchased separately and often cost more than the license itself, especially for non-residents.
Is there a combined hunting and fishing license in Texas?
Yes — the resident combo/sportsman license is $68, cheaper than buying both separately.
Who sells licenses in Texas?
The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department — online, plus license agents (sporting-goods stores, some retailers). Federal requirements like the $25 duck stamp for waterfowl are bought separately.
