The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission will meet in Austin to consider a full agenda on August 22-23.

At 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, the Commission will conduct its annual public hearing, in which citizens are invited to address the commission on any topic of interest.

On Thursday August 23, the Commission is scheduled to take action on several items including funding for several grant programs administered by TPWD: Small Community grants, National Recreational Trail grants, Boating Access grants and Target Range grants. The Commission will also consider approval of the FY '08 operating and capital budgets. Several legislatively driven items will also be considered including Statewide Hunting and Fishing Proclamation rule amendments, Duck Stamp fees, and Vessel regulations. The Commission is also scheduled to take action on the 2007-2008 Migratory Game Bird proclamation. Several land transactions will also be considered and the Commission will also be briefed on the upcoming Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo.
