By August 9th, 2023No Comments

Public Comment Accepted Until Nov. 10

 

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission is currently accepting public comments on a set of proposed regulatory amendments that will be discussed during the Commission’s upcoming meeting on November 10. One amendment is a proposed change that would allow hunters to display their hunter education certification on their mobile phones.

This proposed amendment builds on Texas House Bill 547, passed in 2019, which allows sportsmen and women to display their hunting, fishing, or combination licenses on their mobile phones. In addition to this proposed amendment, the Parks and Wildlife Commission has proposed an option to allow hunters to obtain a replacement of their hunter education certification online.

Those interested in reviewing and commenting on this and other proposed regulatory amendments may do so here. The current comment period will close at 9 a.m. CST on November 10, prior to the Commission’s November meeting.
