License and access permit
Park entrance fee/pass. Eligible shore or pier fishing inside Texas state parks does not require a fishing license; ordinary state fishing license and endorsements apply when fishing outside that exemption.
When you can go
Use the official area rules for current species seasons, legal hours and any area-specific closures. This record does not confirm access for a particular date.
Area restrictions
A 5 mph boat speed limit applies. Check park capacity, day-pass availability and alerts; camping is separate.
Plan with the official agency
The park offers directly purchased day-use passes and day-pass reservations. Eligible shore fishing has a state-park license exemption; no fishing or day-pass draw is described. Check actual capacity with the park.
No lottery is required for the described access and species. Other hunts on the same property may require a drawing. Check current seasons, closures, check-in and capacity before traveling; open access does not reserve an exclusive spot.
