Abstract: |
Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department (TPWD) is responsible for the management and conservation
of the state's natural and cultural resources, provision of outdoor
recreational opportunities, conservation education and outreach, and
interpretation of cultural and historical resources. These files are reports
maintained for many years by the now-defunct library of the agency. Shortly
after the agency closed its library, the project reports were transferred to
the State Archives. Most of the reports are progress or performance reports and
job completion reports of projects that used federal grant money provided under
the Pittman-Robertson Act (Wildlife Restoration Act), the Dingell-Johnson Act
(Sport Fish Restoration Act), and the Commercial Fisheries Research and
Development Act. These are annual reports on progress of work completed on
various grant projects or jobs through the year. A series of annual project
reports of the Coastal Fisheries Division projects were done with only state
funds. Dates covered for all reports are 1938-1999. Topics of the research
performed include: wildlife investigations (includes game harvest regulations,
game harvest estimates, surplus game availability, distribution and movements
of migratory birds and waterfowl, predatory non-game animal studies, and
studies of specific species, such as deer, antelope, bighorn sheep, quail, wild
turkeys, javelinas, bobcats, lesser prairie chickens, and doves); regional
wildlife development; development of wildlife management areas; changes in fish
harvest regulations; fish stocking in lakes and reservoirs; population control
of fish species; vegetation control in lakes; pollution control in lakes and
coastal water bodies; contract fishing; facility development; shrimp fishing;
oysters; management of coastal fisheries; chemical analysis of waste water from
industrial plants; and game fish of the coastal waters. Also present are a few
hand written indexes, maps, and lists of grant reports - both state and federal
- maintained by staff of the former TPWD library. |

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is responsible for the
management and conservation of the state's wildlife and fish resources;
provision of outdoor recreational opportunities to the public; acquisition,
development, and operation of wildlife management areas, fish hatcheries, state
parks, historic sites, and other public lands; conservation education and
outreach; cultural and historical interpretation; and the regulation of
fishing, hunting, and boating activities. The Department is composed of ten
major divisions which carry out the functions and duties of the agency:
Wildlife, State Parks, Coastal Fisheries, Inland Fisheries, Communications, Law
Enforcement, Infrastructure, Administrative Resources, Legal, Information
Technology, and Human Resources. An Executive Director, selected by the Parks
and Wildlife Commission, administers the department. In 2005, the agency
employed the full-time equivalent of 3,038 people.
The Parks and Wildlife Department is governed by the Parks and
Wildlife Commission, initially composed of three members, increased to six
members in 1972, and as of 1983, nine members, appointed by the Governor with
approval of the Senate. Members serve six-year overlapping terms. The
Commission chairperson is appointed biennially by the Governor. The Commission
meets quarterly or more often as needed. Its chief responsibility is to adopt
policies and rules to carry out the programs of the Parks and Wildlife
Department.
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) had its beginnings in
1879 when the 16th Texas Legislature authorized the Governor to appoint a fish
commissioner to ensure compliance with an Act for the preservation of fish, and
to build fish ways and fish ladders (Chapter 92, 16th Legislature, Regular
Session). In 1881, the Office of the Fish Commissioner was established (Chapter
78, 17th Legislature, Regular Session). It was created for the
"propagation and preservation of fish and to build
fish-ways and fish-ladders…," and existed through 1885. The
commissioner was appointed to a two-year term by the Governor, with the
approval of the Senate.
In 1895, the Office of the Fish and Oyster Commissioner was created by
House Bill 55, 24th Legislature, Regular Session, with the commissioner
appointed by the Governor as before. The duties included the protection of
fish, turtles and terrapin of the bays and coastal waters of the state,
protection of natural oyster beds and reefs, and the protection of the location
of private beds. The Commissioner had the authority to appoint Deputy
Commissioners to assist in carrying out the duties of the office. In 1907,
protection of wild birds and wild game was added to the responsibilities of
that office, which became the Office of the Game, Fish and Oyster Commissioner
(House Bill 379, 30th Legislature, Regular Session). This Commissioner
appointed Deputy Game Commissioners to assist in carrying out the duties of the
office.
The single commissioner was replaced by a six-member commission in
1929 and the agency became the Game, Fish, and Oyster Commission (Senate Bill
83, 41st Legislature, Regular Session). The commissioners were appointed to six
year terms by the Governor with the approval of the Senate, and were selected
from different sections of the state. The chair was appointed by the Governor.
Duties of the commission included administering the state's laws relating to
game and fish; preventing pollution of streams; issuing hunting, trapping, and
fishing licenses; collecting fees, taxes, and fines; conducting research; and
proclaiming and enforcing open seasons and bag limits on game and fish. The
commission also operated fish hatcheries and sanctuaries, administered game and
hunting preserves, supervised oyster beds in the state, controlled and
exterminated predatory animals and fish, and educated the public in the
preservation of wildlife and fish and game resources of the state. It had the
authority to create rules and regulations as necessary to carry out its duties.
The name was changed to the Texas Game and Fish Commission in 1951 and the size
of the board was increased to nine members (Senate Bill 463, 52nd Legislature,
Regular Session).
The Texas State Parks Board was created in 1923 (Senate Bill 73, 38th
Legislature, First Called Session) to investigate prospective park sites in the
state and report to the Legislature with recommendations, and to solicit and
accept donations of land for state park purposes. The State Parks Board was
initially composed of five members, appointed by the Governor with the approval
of the Senate to six year terms, and they were to be state officers. The number
of board members increased to six in 1937 (Senate Bill 484, 45th Legislature,
Regular Session). This board was to begin locating sites for the establishment
of the state parks system. It directed and managed state parks created, except
the historical parks which were managed by the Board of Control and/or several
separate commissions. The Parks Board was charged with locating, designating,
and marking historic grounds, battlegrounds, and other historic sites in the
state, and erecting markers and monuments at such sites. The board also had the
authority to create rules and regulations as necessary to carry out its duties.
The primary function of the board between 1923 and 1933 was to acquire lands
for parks through donations. In 1933, federal funds became available for state
park development and the board worked with the Civilian Conservation Corps
(CCC) and the National Park Service for the development of better park sites
for a state parks system. The CCC provided labor during the 1930s to improve
state park lands and facilities. In 1949, the state historical parks were
transferred to the State Parks Board, except for the San Jacinto Battlefield,
the Battleship Texas, and the Fannin Battlefield, which were still controlled
by their respective commissions--the San Jacinto Battlefield Commission, the
Battleship Texas Commission, and the Fannin Battlefield Commission (House Bill
120, 51st Legislature, Regular Session). Jurisdiction over the Fannin and San
Jacinto Battlefields was transferred to TPWD in 1965 (House Bill 102, 59th
Legislature, Regular Session). Battleship Texas was transferred to TPWD in 1983
(House Bill 586, 68th Legislature, Regular Session).
In 1963, the State Parks Board and the Game and Fish Commission were
merged to form the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife (House Bill 21, 58th
Legislature, Regular Session). In 1967, the Historic Structures and Sites Act
was passed by the 60th Legislature, House Bill 58, Regular Session, charging
the Parks and Wildlife Department with stewardship of the state's cultural
heritage sites. In 1983, the Legislature passed the 1983 Wildlife Conservation
Act (Senate Bill 94, 68th Legislature, Regular Session), which gave the agency
the authority to manage fish and wildlife resources in all Texas counties.
Prior to this act county commissioner courts set game and fish laws in many
counties, and other counties had veto power over Department regulations. In
1985, the legislature granted the agency authority over shrimp and oysters
(Senate Bill 609, 69th Legislature, Regular Session).
The State Parks Division protects, interprets, and manages cultural
and natural resources and provides recreational opportunities to the public on
land owned or leased by TPWD, which includes 119 state parks, historic sites,
and natural areas. The division also provides planning assistance and
administers matching grants to local communities and counties for park
acquisition and development, public boat ramps and other facilities, and
outreach. In the early years of TPWD the State Parks Division also investigated
potential land acquisitions for state parks and historic sites, negotiated and
prepared contracts for the donation or purchase of land, researched title
information, constructed new park facilities and did renovations and repairs in
existing facilities. In 1963 the Parks Division developed a statewide
comprehensive outdoor recreation plan - the Texas Outdoor Recreation Plan. This
plan was updated every five years. Master plans for state parks were begun in
1965. During a brief period in the 1990s, the State Parks Division was known as
the Public Lands Division, whose duties included the management of some
wildlife areas in addition to state parks, historic sites, and natural areas.
Today, land acquisition activities are handled through the executive office and
the Infrastructure Division handles design and construction of new facilities,
repairs of existing facilities, and development of TPWD lands. Wildlife areas
are managed by the Wildlife Division. The Texas Outdoor Recreation Plan has
been incorporated into the more comprehensive Land and Water Resources
Conservation and Recreation Plan prepared by the agency. The 77th Texas
Legislature (Senate Bill 305, Regular Session) required that Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department prepare (be adopted by the Commission) the Land and Water
Resources Conservation and Recreation Plan by October 15, 2002. The plan was
adopted and the latest version (2005) is on the website of the TPWD
(http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/pwd_pl_e0100_0867/).
The Wildlife Division manages and conserves all the state's wildlife
resources. Its responsibilities include wildlife planning, research,
inventorying wildlife resources, monitoring population dynamics, regulating
game seasons and bag limits, conserving non-game and rare species, habitat
conservation and acquisition, providing technical assistance to land owners,
operating and managing 52 wildlife management areas, and assisting with the
management of 123 state parks. The division also uses state-owned and operated
lands to conduct wildlife research, field tours, seminars, wildlife management
operations, and offers public access to these lands for public hunting and
other recreational and education uses. Most of the work done by the division is
eligible for reimbursement under the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of
1937, also known as the Pittman-Robertson Act.
The Coastal Fisheries Division manages the marine fishery resources of
Texas' four million acres of saltwater, including the bays and estuaries and
out to nine nautical miles in the Gulf of Mexico. Management strategies are
designed to sustain fisheries harvest at levels necessary to ensure
replenishable stocks of important species and provide balanced food webs within
the marine ecosystems. The division conducts monitoring programs year round to
gather technical data to assess population levels and develop fishing
regulations. The division operates three hatchery facilities to enhance
populations of several species of game fish, through increasing abundance of
the fish and offsetting impacts of natural catastrophes.
The Coastal Fisheries Division also operates the Artificial Reef
Program. In 1989, the Texas Legislature directed the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department to develop the artificial reef potential of Texas (Senate Bill 5,
71st Legislature, Regular Session). The Texas Artificial Reef Plan was adopted
in 1990, creating the Artificial Reef Program. The basic activity of the
program is to acquire surplus ships, barges, oil rigs, and other material that
is then deposited on the sea floor to form artificial reefs. These reefs
increase the diversity of marine organisms at those locations. An advisory
committee was formed in 1990 to aid the program in fulfilling its obligations
to the state in building reefs that are in the best interest of the citizens of
Texas. The Artificial Reef Program Advisory Committee is a 10 member panel
appointed by the TPW Commissioners. According to the Parks and Wildlife Code
(Section 89.021), the committee members represent the interests of the
following groups: salt water sport fishing, offshore oil and gas producers,
Texas tourism industry, the General Land Office, the Texas university system,
environmental groups, a shrimp organization, a diving club, and the Attorney
General's Office.
The Inland Fisheries Division manages the freshwater fishery resources
of the state, which consist of 626 public impoundments and 80,000 miles of
rivers and streams covering 1.7 million acres. The division activities include
fisheries management and research, fish production, angler education and
information, fishing access projects, and aquatic habitat management. The
division also operates six fish hatchery facilities to enhance populations of
several species of fish.

The Pittman-Robertson Act, also known as the Federal Aid in Wildlife
Restoration Act, was passed by Congress in September 1937 and commenced in
August 1938. The Act provided federal funding "for
the selection, restoration, rehabilitation and improvement of wildlife habitat,
wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by
the projects." The act was initially funded by a ten percent tax on
ammunition and firearms used for sport hunting, and the funds were distributed
to the States for wildlife restoration. In the 1970s Congress expanded the
revenue base to include handguns and archery equipment, and authorized States
to spend up to half those revenues on hunter education and target ranges. This
grant program is operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Funding in recent years is based on an 11 percent federal excise tax on
sporting arms, ammunition, and archery equipment, and a ten percent tax on
handguns. This grant program is a cost-reimbursement program where the state
covers the full amount of an approved project then applies for federal aid
reimbursement for up to 75 percent of the project expenses. The remaining 25
percent of the project costs must be from a non-federal source. Of the funds
available to the states, more than 62 percent is used to buy, develop,
maintain, and operate wildlife management areas.
The Dingell-Johnson Act, also known as the Sport Fish Restoration Act,
was modeled after the Pittman-Robertson Act to create a similar program for the
management, conservation, and restoration of fishery resources. The Act was
approved by Congress in August 1950 to provide federal aid to the States for
management and restoration of fish having "material value in connection with
sport or recreation in the marine and/or fresh waters of the United States."
This grant program is operated by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
Funding for the program comes from a ten percent manufacturer's excise tax on
fishing rods, reels, creels, and artificial baits, lures, and flies, with the
revenue earmarked for the States and territories solely for projects that would
enhance sport fishing restoration. In 1984 Congress passed the Wallop Breaux
amendments to the Act which included import duties on yachts and a motorboat
fuel tax on gasoline and added funds for aquatic resources education. Wetlands
conservation programs were added to the act in 1990. Funding for boat-related
waste pumpout facilities was added in 1992 and a nontrailerable recreational
boat program (boats greater than 26 feet in length) was added in 1998. This
grant program is a cost-reimbursement program, where the state covers the full
amount of an approved project then applies for federal aid reimbursement for up
to 75 percent of the project expenses. The remaining 25 percent of the project
costs must be from a non-federal source.
The Commercial Fisheries Research and Development Act was passed by
Congress in 1964, Public law 88-309. The goal of the act was to cooperate with
states through their respective state agencies in carrying out projects
designed for the research and development of the commercial fisheries resources
of the nation. Federal funds were to supplement or increase the amount of the
state funds available for research. This grant program was operated by the
National Marine Fisheries Service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration. The act was repealed by Congress effective October 1, 1987.

Wildlife research reports,
1938-1999,
20 cubic ft. |
|
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is responsible for the
management and conservation of the state's natural and cultural resources,
provision of outdoor recreational opportunities, conservation education and
outreach, and interpretation of cultural and historical resources. These files
are reports maintained for many years by the now-defunct library of the agency.
Shortly after the agency closed their library, the federal aid project reports
were transferred to the State Archives. The federal aid reports consist of
progress or performance reports and job completion reports done using federal
grant money provided under the Pittman-Robertson Act (Wildlife Restoration
Act). The Pittman-Robertson Act, also known as the Federal Aid in Wildlife
Restoration Act, was passed by Congress in September 1937 and commenced in
August 1938. The Act provided federal funding "for
the selection, restoration, rehabilitation and improvement of wildlife habitat,
wildlife management research, and the distribution of information produced by
the projects." These are annual reports on work done/completed on various
grant projects or jobs through the year. In many cases, one job will be done
over a multi-year period and work completed will be reported yearly. The
reports are arranged by project number. Dates covered are 1938-1999. The
reports generally contain an objective, background data/history, procedures,
results of the studies, recommendations, statistical compilations,
requirements, and proclamations or regulations concerning the studies if
applicable. When applicable, a section discussing the proclamations is present
and will include an introduction, justification for the rules, how the rules
will function, summary of comments from public hearings, why the agency may
disagree with the comments, and rules. Proclamations are regulations and rules
issued by the TPW Commission. |
|
Topics of the research performed include studies of specific
species, such as deer, antelope, bighorn sheep, quail, wild turkeys, javelinas,
bobcats, lesser prairie chickens, and doves; game harvest regulations; game
harvest estimates; surplus game availability; habitat development; distribution
and movements of migratory birds and waterfowl; predatory non-game animal
studies; regional wildlife development; and development of wildlife management
areas. Also present are a few hand written indexes, maps and lists of grant
reports - both state and federal - maintained by staff of the former TPWD
library. Earlier project grant reports can found in the finding aid,
Texas Game and Fish Commission records.
|
|
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged as received from the agency, by project
number, then they are further split into segments and sometimes further split
into jobs. The same job (or study) will likely be performed over several
years. |
