TPWD Increases License, Boat Registration Fees
AUSTIN, Texas — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has approved increases to hunting and fishing licenses, as well as boat titling and registration fees. Most fees will increase by five percent and the increases take effect with the 2009-2010 license year, starting this fall for recreational hunting and fishing licenses.
Hunting licenses will increase from $23 to $25, while the popular Super Combo all-inclusive license increases from $64 to $68.
Non-resident hunting licenses increase by $15 from $300 to $315, which also reflects a five percent hike.
Fishing packages will also increase by $2. The resident freshwater fishing package increases from $28 to $30 and the saltwater fishing package increases from $33 to $35.
The biggest increase in license fees approved by the commission affects lifetime licenses. The resident lifetime fishing and hunting licenses will increase to $1,000 and the lifetime combination license increases to $1,800.
