The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) 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 Infrastructure
Division administers TPWD's Capital Program, which includes all new
construction, restoration, renovation, maintenance, and repair projects. It is
responsible for all design and construction contracts for the department, and
it provides professional design, construction, and project management services
to state parks, wildlife management areas, hatcheries, and other department
facilities. The division is also TPWD's liaison with the Texas Department of
Transportation, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice.

(CDM) Branch's mission is "to manage the planning, design, and construction of
TPWD facilities in a creative manner that complements and preserves the natural
and cultural resources of Texas for the education and enjoyment of present and
future generations." The division is also TPWD's liaison with the Texas
Department of Transportation, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality,

renovation, maintenance, and repair projects. It is responsible for all design
and construction contracts for the department, and it provides professional
design, construction, and project management services to state parks, wildlife
management areas, hatcheries, and other department facilities. This series
contains 9 x 9 inch stereographic aerial photographs of Texas state park areas.
Most of the photographs are black and white. These photographs were taken by
commercial contractors, such as the International Aerial Mapping Company. Most
of the images have the date, altitude, scale, state park name, and
identification number printed on them. In many cases, two sets of photographs
are present for a park, often one of the sets will be missing some photos.
Original photograph envelopes with notes and drawings on them were photocopied
and included in folders. The TPWD used these photographs for planning purposes
when deciding on changes or improvement projects to state parks. Also included
are correspondence, invoices, contracts, field notes, maps, and drawings. The
last folder in the series contains vertical control file data, which lists the
known sea level elevation for various sites. Records date 1938, 1942,
1950-1994, bulk 1970-1979. The folders contain aerial photographs unless
