Texas county questions
How many counties does Texas have?
254, more than any other state. Each has its own page here with seasons, deer rules, public land and services.
Why do Texas deer limits change by county?
TPWD sets the white-tailed deer bag county by county inside a statewide cap of five deer a year, no more than three bucks. Each county page quotes its own 2026-27 limit.
Which counties have antler restrictions?
117 counties, mostly in East and Central Texas, for 2026-27. The table above marks them.
Which counties have no deer season?
El Paso and Hudspeth have no white-tailed deer season.
Does TPWD publish deer harvest by county?
No. Harvest is surveyed by deer management unit and ecoregion, so county pages show the unit and ecoregion estimates instead.
Which county has the most public hunting areas?
Jefferson County, with 11 listed areas.
Are there CWD zones in Texas this year?
No. For 2026-27 TPWD lists no CWD containment or surveillance zones; testing at check stations is voluntary.
Where does this information come from?
The TPWD Outdoor Annual 2026-27 county pages, TPWD harvest surveys and Census data, checked October 11, 2026.
