Relating to making a donation to the operation game thief fund when applying for a hunting or fishing license.

HB 3129 allows hunters and anglers applying for Texas hunting or fishing licenses to voluntarily donate $1, $5, $10, or $20 to the Operation Game Thief Fund. The bill requires the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to include donation options on license applications (both physical and online) and deposit donations into the fund within 14 days of receipt. This policy change directly affects license applicants by adding a simple, optional contribution mechanism during the application process. The fund supports enforcement efforts against illegal hunting and fishing activities. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
