The "Package" System Explained
In Texas, you don't just buy a "Basic License." You buy a package that includes the base fee plus the required "Endorsements" (stamps) for your target water type. For example, the $30 Resident Freshwater Package includes the Resident Fishing License and the Freshwater Fishing Endorsement.
The Oversize Red Drum Tag
Included in all Saltwater and All-Water packages (as part of the SW endorsement) is exactly one Red Drum Tag. This single tag allows you to harvest ONE oversized Red Drum (greater than 28 inches) per year.
