AUSTIN – Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) will offer fully digital options for all recreational hunting, fishing and combo license and tag types when 2025-26 licenses go on sale Aug. 15th. In March, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved the expansion of digital license and tag options.
TPWD first introduced digital license options for resident supercombo license types in 2022. Hunters and anglers not interested in the digital option can still purchase traditional paper licenses both online and at pointof- sale locations.
The digital license option is available through online purchase only when licenses go on sale Aug. 15th. Digital license holders will not receive a printed license or tags and must keep their digital license available via mobile device while in the field. Digital license holders must tag their harvests through the Texas Hunt & Fish mobile app, and their license can be viewed through the Texas Hunt & Fish and TPWD Outdoor Annual mobile apps. Additional information on digital licenses and tagging is available here.
