Lifetime Licenses
Valid Sep. 1, 2016 through Aug. 31, 2017.
Residents may buy hunting and fishing licenses valid for the lifetime of the license holder. The holder of a lifetime license is exempt from all state endorsement requirements except the Reptile and Amphibian endorsement; however, the red drum license tag and federal duck stamp requirements still apply. Not valid for commercial trapping.
Beginning August 15th of each license year, existing lifetime license holders may obtain current year tags immediately, at no fee, at any one of our license agents located across the state. A Request for Lifetime License Tags may also be printed.
Applications for lifetime licenses may be obtained:
- in person from TPWD Law Enforcement offices
- by printing the Application for Texas Resident Lifetime License
- or by calling (800) 792-1112 (4820).
Lifetime licenses are only available for sale from the TPWD Austin Headquarters and TPWD Law Enforcement Offices.
