Since September 2021, Texans 21 and older who may legally possess a handgun can carry it openly in a holster or concealed without a license. The optional License to Carry is issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety and is still worth having for travel to other states and a few places Texas law treats differently. Posted private property, schools, courthouses and other listed places stay off limits.
Texas Parks and Wildlife sets deer seasons by county. The general season in most counties opens on the first Saturday in November and runs into early January, with longer south Texas dates and archery and youth seasons before it. Centerfire rifles, handguns, shotguns and muzzleloaders are legal in general season. Feral hogs can be taken year-round on private land with permission. Check the current TPWD Outdoor Annual for your county.
