What is the Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH) and where can it be purchased?
A1: The Annual Public Hunting Permit (APH) allows access to over a million acres of public hunting land that TPWD either owns or leases from another agency or private landowner. The APH can be purchased at any license vendor that sells hunting & fishing licenses. If you purchase the permit from a license vendor (e.g. Wal-Mart, Academy, etc.), you will have the map booklet mailed to the address on your driver’s license. If you purchase the permit at a TPWD office, the book will be provided upon purchase. Further information on the APH can also be found on our website.
