Do I need a fishing license to fish on the river? On a lake?

by The Brazos River Authority

In Texas, the state requires anyone who fishes in public waters to have a valid fishing license. There are a few exceptions to this law:

  • No license is required for those younger than 17 or Texas residents born before Sept. 1, 1930.
  • Residents born after this date that are 65 or older, can buy a Senior Resident Fishing License.
  • People are also not required to have a license when fishing at a state park, such as the one at Possum Kingdom Lake.

About us

The Brazos River Authority was created by the Texas Legislature in 1929 as the first state agency in the country with the purpose of developing and managing the water resources of an entire river basin. Today, the Authority develops and distributes water supplies, provides water and wastewater treatment, monitors water quality, and pursues water conservation through public education programs. Although the Authority is an agency of the state, it does not levy or collect taxes and is entirely self-supporting.

 

The information provided on this site is intended as background on water within the Brazos River basin. There should be no expectation that this information is all encompassing, complete or in any way examines every aspect of this very complex natural resource. 

 

We invite you to post comments and expect they will be made in good taste. The Authority reserves the right to reject or remove any comment that is not constructive in the education of the general public on issues regarding water in the Brazos basin.
