*** News ***

Most current Hunting and Fishing Licenses will expire Sunday August 31st.

New Licenses for 2010/2011 went on sale August 15th, 2010

This year you may be able to renew you licenses online through the TPWD Web site (http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/), available 24/7 or by telephone 800-895-4248 (hours are 8am to 5pm Monday thru Friday.
But there is a catch, it will cost you an extra $5.00 for an Administrative Transaction fee.

A license confirmation number will be issued to you at the time of purchase, and the physical license will be mailed to you. The Confirmation number will verify that you did purchase a license, which is sufficient for hunting dove's. But will not be sufficient for fishing or hunting wildlife that requires a tag.

Wing shooters will also need an game bird stamp and a Federal Duck Stamp for duck hunting.

Red Snapper season in Federal Waters closed July 24th, 2010. It will re-open again June 1st, 2011

However there appears to be a possibilty that because of the Deepwater Horizon/BP Oil Spill and fishing closures that the recreational quota might not have been filled.
So the Gulf Council has requested that, if the NOAA Fisheries determines the quota was not filled, that it conduct rulemaking to reopen recreational Red Snapper fishing later this year to allow the harvest of the remaining quota.

Calhoun County has decided that it is illegal to operate a Golf Cart in POC and they will fine you $160.00 if they catch you on the street with it. But to date they have just issued warning's, haven't heard of anyone getting a fine yet as of September 1st, 2010

It doesn't matter what the Texas State DOT says, see article below

New Golf Cart Rules Take Effect September 1, 2009

AUSTIN - A new state law instructs the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to stop registering and titling golf carts, but these owners won't be stuck in their driveways.

The law takes effect September 1, 2009, and allows cities to regulate golf cart use in their communities

"While we will stop registering golf carts you will still be able to drive these vehicles on public roads, providing you follow the state laws governing golf cart operation," said Rebecca Davio, director of TxDOT's Vehicle Titles and Registration Division.

State law allows the use of golf carts with a slow-moving vehicle emblem in the following situations:

* in master planned communities with a uniform set of restrictive covenants in place,

* on public or private beaches,

* during the daytime and no more than two miles from where the owner usually parks the golf cart and for transportation to or from a golf course, or

* to cross intersections, including a road or street that has a posted speed limit of more than 35 mph.

"Cities also can allow golf carts with the proper equipment on certain roads, but you need to check with your city government to find out where or if they are permitted," Davio said

A city can pass a local ordinance allowing golf cart use on roads with a posted speed limit of 35 mph or lower. However, the golf cart must be insured and have the following minimum equipment:

* headlamps,

* tail lamps,

* reflectors,

* parking brake,

* mirrors, and

* a slow-moving vehicle emblem.

The state, a county, or a city can ban golf cart operation on all or part of a public road in the interest of safety.

Note: An exception for Grayson County allows for the issuance of Golf Cart License Plates.

More information on golf carts, neighborhood electric vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and recreational off-highway vehicles is available at www.txdot.gov.
