+Tread-n-Lightly Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Help! Fellow Texans... I'm new to the sport (GeoCaching) and new to visiting our wonderful Texas Parks and Wildlife Reserves. So new that I almost got a ticket (did get a warning ticket) from a (friendly) Game Warden today. He informed me that I needed an APHL (permit) if I'm going to get out of my car for any reason. So lets see... I looked on the WEB and found that an APHL (license # 173) is $48.00 and another $65.00 for an annual Texas State Park Pass. If this is correct then I have no problem supporting our Park systems. But if there is a cheaper way, I would sure like to know. Thanks, TNL Kevin Quote Link to comment
+Cherokeecacher Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Welcome to the addiction Kevin. cjick on the Texas Geocaching link in my sig line, and post your question there. It will be veiwed by more Texas Cachers, and faster, that here. I have never heard of such a requirement, but that Doesn't mean one does not exist. Quote Link to comment

+E = Mc2 Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 He informed me that I needed an APHL (permit) if I'm going to get out of my car for any reason. Just trolling along and... That is insane! I'd email the parks and wildlife people at license@tpwd.state.tx.us and ask them personally. I can see paying for the parks pass, but you should not need a hunting license to enjoy a park. The questions arise, though: Was your gun visibly in the gun rack behind the seat of your truck?

Zoptrop Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 You don't even need the annual pass - you can pay each time you visit the park (as in per visit) for about $4 per person. Many of us purchase an annual pass because it makes sense if you visit the parks often. Quote Link to comment
