Question

Do you need a fishing license to fish in texas state parks?

Answer 1

This year the state is currently offering a "fish for free from state parks" program.

This means you can fish for free from a state park or in bodies of water that are fully contained within a state park. For example you could fish Joe Pool Lake from the bank at Cedar Hill State Park

but if you wanted to fish on a boat in Joe Pool Lake or from one of the municipal Joe Pool parks

you will still need a license.

Also, despite not needing a license you do still need to follow species specific limits (size requirements, bag limits, etc.) and all other fishing regulations.
