October Magazine: It's Expo time in the latest 
issue of Texas Parks and Wildlife magazine. That's 
coming up on Passport To Texas.


Passport to Texas from Texas Parks and Wildlife. We'll 
gear up for the largest free outdoor recreation event 
in the United States in the latest issue of Texas Parks 
and Wildlife magazine. Here's managing editor, Charles Lohrmann.


October is Expo month for both Texas Park and Wildlife 
Department and the magazine. The state is becoming 
primarily an urban state and very few urban youth particularly 
have a chance to get outside and try their hand at fishing 
or maybe do some kayaking or experience some other outdoor 
activities or wildlife viewing. And what makes the event 
so special is that it actually gives everyone a chance to 
try some of these activities. One other interesting 
article is about butterflies in the lower Rio Grande 
Valley. The Valley has been known as a birding destination 
for some time, but one of the things that people might not 
realize is that 300 of the country's 500 butterflies species 
are recorded in the Lower Rio Grande Valley. Then we're 
going to explore the urban landscape in Houston, with an 
article on the bayous that run through the city. And a 
couple of other interesting points one is fishing for 
striped bass in North Texas Lake Texoma and we will have 
some notes on the opening of government canyon state park 
in west of San Antonio.


The October issue is on newsstands now, to learn more
