OUTDOOR ANNUAL GOES MOBILE: An app to help hunters 
and anglers get the most of the outdoors… ahead on 
Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

The Texas Outdoor Annual is a handy print and online 
guide loaded with useful information for hunters and 
anglers. It’s also an app.

08— Smart phones and tablets have become more popular among 
the general population, and our hunters and anglers are also 
using those devices.

Tim Peterson–director of creative and interactive services 
at TPW–says the app takes the guesswork out of which 
regulations apply to your location.

28—If an angler’s sitting in a particular water body or lake, or 
near or water body or lake, they can use the GPS function in the 
APP, locate the lake that they’re at or near, and they can see bag 
limits and exceptions for that particular lake. In addition, same 
goes for hunting. Same goes for hunting. If a hunter is in a blind, 
they can pull out the APP, and using the GPS functionality of their 
device, they could see which county they were in, and they would 
see the bag limits and season dates for that particular county.

The app is free and available for download for apple and 
android devices. Find a link at the TPW website.

That’s our show, funded in part by the Wildlife and Sport 
Fish Restoration Program. Through your purchases of 
hunting and fishing equipment, and motorboat fuels, over 
40 million dollars in conservation efforts are funded in 
Texas each year.

For Texas Parks and Wildlife, I’m Cecilia Nasti.
