The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission has approved increases to hunting and fishing licenses, boat titling and registration fees. Most fees reflect a five percent increase. The increases take effect with the 2009-2010 license year, starting this fall for recreational hunting and fishing licenses.
Hunting licenses will increase from $23 to $25, while the Super Combo all-inclusive license increases from $64 to $68.
Non-resident hunting licenses increase by $15 from $300 to $315.
Fishing packages will increase by $2. The resident freshwater fishing package increases from $28 to $30; the saltwater fishing package increases from $33 to $35.
The largest increase in license fees affects lifetime licenses. The resident lifetime fishing and hunting licenses will increase to $1,000 and the lifetime combination license increases to $1,800.
Boat owners in Texas will also see increases in boat registration and titling fees. The two year boat registration fees for vessels less than 16 feet in length increase from $30 to $32 and those in the 16-26 foot range go from $50 to $53. Boats 26-40 feet increase from $70 to $110 and boats greater than 40 feet increase from $90 to $150.
