Regular (Daily) Permit Hunts
Public Hunting in Texas 2024-25

A Regular Permit is available for certain small game and waterfowl hunts in specific areas on a first-come first-served basis.

A $20 fee is charged for each Regular Permit issued; however, the fee will be waived for youth hunters under age 17 and for persons possessing an Annual Public Hunting Permit.

A valid hunting license and any required stamp endorsements are required to participate in these hunts.

All participants must check in and out each day at the area check station before entering the hunt area and before leaving for the day.

The Department reserves the right to limit the number of hunters, cancel or modify hunts or hunt dates, alter bag limits or modify hunt procedures at any time to address resource and safety concerns.

Refer to the Prohibited Acts on Public Hunting Lands section on the "What you need to Know" web page for additional information and restrictions.

Reminder: vaccination of hunting dogs against rabies is required by the Department of State Health Services, and owners must be able to show documentation of current vaccinations whenever the animal is transported.
