Texas residents can use an unexpired state driver's license or state ID, while non-residents and temporary ID holders may need additional documentation. Under new Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) rules that took effect Monday, Texans and other customers ages 17+ must now show valid identification to purchase a recreational hunting or fishing license.
