Wildlife Law

Parker County has a dedicated TPWD game warden

TPWD assigns game wardens to specific counties; the Parker County warden enforces hunting, fishing, and boating laws.

Texas Parks and Wildlife assigns game wardens by county. The Parker County warden enforces hunting, fishing, and boating rules. You can find their contact info on the TPWD game warden directory by selecting Parker County from the county list.

Game wardens have full law enforcement power. They check hunting licenses and bag limits in the field. They respond to wildlife complaints. They also enforce boat safety rules on lakes. If you are not sure whether a specific activity is legal on your land, the game warden is a good first call. Find the current warden's contact info at the TPWD link below.
