The State of Texas has given the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
(TPWD) the responsibility 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. The Parks and Wildlife
Commission selects an executive director to administer the department. In 2005
the agency employed the full-time equivalent of 3,038 people.
The Parks and Wildlife Commission governs the agency. It was initially
composed of three members, increased to six members in 1972, and as of 1983,
contains nine members, appointed by the Governor with approval of the Senate.
Members serve six-year overlapping terms. The Governor appoints the chair. The
Commission meets quarterly or more often as needed, primarily 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. 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 24th Legislature created the Office of the Fish and Oyster
Commissioner (House Bill 55, 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.
A six-member commission replaced the single commissioner in 1929 and
the agency became the Texas 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 state created the Texas State Parks Board 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, 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. The state transferred control of historical
parks to the State Parks Board in 1949, 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).
The State Parks Board and the Game and Fish Commission were merged in
1963 to form the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (House Bill 21, 58th
Legislature, Regular Session). The Historic Structures and Sites Act was passed
by the 60th Legislature (House Bill 58, Regular Session) in 1967 charging the
Parks and Wildlife Department with stewardship of the state's cultural heritage
sites. In 1983 the 68th Legislature passed the Wildlife Conservation Act
(Senate Bill 94, Regular Session), giving 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 69th Legislature
granted the agency authority over shrimp and oysters (Senate Bill 609, Regular
Session).
The functions of the Resource Protection Division were absorbed by
other program divisions following an agency-wide reorganization in 2004. While
the division was active its duties included protecting fish, wildlife, plant
and mineral resources from degradation or depletion; investigating
environmental contamination that might cause the loss of fish or wildlife;
providing information and recommendations to other government agencies; and
participating in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning pollution
incidents, development projects, and other actions that might affect fish and
wildlife. It reviewed permits proposed for wastewater discharge and hazardous
waste disposal by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission and the
Railroad Commission. The division also investigated fish kills, attempting to
determine responsibility for the kill and recovering the economic value of the
fish and other lost aquatic life from the polluter. It also assessed injury to
fish and wildlife resources from oil and hazardous chemical releases and sought
restoration from the responsible party. The division represented the department
in the Interagency Council for Oil Spill Response Planning and the Coastal
Coordinating Council, a multi-agency body that reviews and coordinates state
and federal laws and actions affecting the Texas coast. The division worked to
protect sensitive ecological habitats and rare, threatened, or endangered
plants and animals and it worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to
protect wetland areas and to dispose of dredge material from Texas navigable
waters. The divisions's Resource Conservation Branch worked with the Governor's
Texas Review and Comment System (TRACS) by reviewing and commenting on various
projects that may have an environmental impact on state resources. It also
supported the Geographic Information Systems Laboratory. The GIS lab is
operated by the Executive Office and provides specialized training and spatial
analysis as part of its support of agency-wide efforts to develop, manage, and
maintain digital maps and natural and cultural databases which allow biologists
and resource managers to more effectively manage state resources.
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 Division also
operates the Artificial Reef Program. In 1989 the 71st Legislature directed the
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to develop the artificial reef potential of
Texas (Senate Bill 5, 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.
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.

Laura K. Saegert, April 2007
Several series of project files, program files, and reports and
studies of the Resource Protection Division of the Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department were appraised by the State Archives staff as archival on October
18, 1999 as part of an agency-wide appraisal of TPWD's records. The
administrative correspondence of division directors was initially appraised as
non-archival, based on the information provided at that time. The Archives has
since learned that during the time period covered by these records the
correspondence of the division directors was an extension of the correspondence
handled by the executive director of the agency, usually containing the
outgoing responses of the executive director based on drafts prepared by
division staff. Based on this new information the Archives staff decided to
review the administrative correspondence of the divisions on a case-by-case
basis, keeping those files that fit the description of the administrative
correspondence appraised as archival. The correspondence in this series fits
the archival criteria. For a list of archival series and more information about
the appraisal of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's records, see the
appraisal reports by State Archives staff on file in the search room of the
Archives and Information Services Division or online at

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Resource Protection
Division's duties included protecting fish, wildlife, plant and mineral
resources from degradation or depletion, investigating environmental
contamination that may cause the loss of fish or wildlife, providing
information and recommendations to other government agencies and participating
in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning pollution incidents,
development projects, and other actions that may affect fish and wildlife. The
division also handled some correspondence of the agency's Executive Office,
researching questions and drafting replies for the Executive Director. These
files consist of outgoing and incoming letters, memos, fax cover sheets,
reports, planning documents, comments to plans, agendas, papers, presentations,
and mailing lists. Correspondence tracking system reports are available for
1994 and 1995. Dates covered are 1989-1999, bulk 1994-1997. Correspondents
include state officials, other state agencies, federal agencies and officials,
local officials, legislators, congressmen, contractors, environmental groups,
private companies, and the general public. |
|
The first set of correspondence contains letters that cover a wide
variety of topics and reflect the various activities assigned to this division,
including responding to complaints, concern over endangered species and impacts
to fish and wildlife environments due to construction or other projects,
habitat loss for wildlife, regulation of aquaculture wastewater discharge,
mineral recovery operations, natural recovery of damaged areas, wetland
conservation, flood control projects, environmental education of the public,
regional water planning, mitigation policies, cleaning up oil spills, river
dredging, preservation of coastal barriers, and controlling the brown tide
along the Laguna Madre. Almost all of the outgoing letters are signed by the
Executive director of the agency, Andrew Sansom, with a few outgoing replies by
division staff. |
|
The last set of files are correspondence and subject files that
discuss issues such as strategic planning for the division, division
reorganization, a symposium on Texas seagrass, strategic planning for water
development allocation and management, a meeting of the Gulf of Mexico Regional
Marine Research Board, water quality in East Texas, drought, civil restitution
for chloride contamination of the Red River, water issues, the Natural Heritage
Program, the TPWD's proposed expansion of the golf course at Bastrop State
Park, environmental containments and assessments, the Texas Wetlands
Conservation Plan, a coastal preserves management plan, aquatic preserves,
regulations, exotic species, the reauthorization of the federal Endangered
Species Act (ESA) and the TWPD's Endangered Species Program (ESP), concerns of
landowners with endangered species, and the Balcones Canyonlands Conservation
Plan (BCCP). The bulk of the files in this set concern endangered species and
the BCCP issues. Files in this set of correspondence contain more internal
division memoranda and outgoing responses by the division staff than what is
present in the first set of correspondence, which is almost exclusively
outgoing letters of the Executive Director. The files also contain a number of
papers and presentations, many concerning the reauthorization of Endangered
Species Act, some relating to other symposiums and workshops noted in these
files, and others are presentations given at Parks and Wildlife Commission or
committee meetings. |

Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged into two groups by State Archives
staff: Administrative correspondence; Administrative correspondence and subject
files. Files in the first group are further arranged by year as received from

TRACS (Texas Review and Comment System) project files,
1991-1996,
2.5 cubic ft. |

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Resource Protection
Division's duties included protecting fish, wildlife, plant and mineral
resources from degradation or depletion, investigating environmental
contamination that might cause the loss of fish or wildlife, providing
information and recommendations to other government agencies and participating
in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning pollution incidents,
development projects, and other actions that might affect fish and wildlife.
Records consist of inquiries forwarded to the agency through the Texas Review
and Comment System (TRACS) and responses by TPWD staff. The inquiries were
generally forwarded by the Governor's Office of Budget and Planning to TPWD for
review and comment on projects that may have an impact on the environment.
According to agency staff, the reviews were coordinated by the Resource
Conservation Branch of the Resource Protection Division and sent to the proper
divisions (Inland Fisheries, Coastal Fisheries, Wildlife, etc.) for input.
Responses were prepared by the Resource Conservation Branch and signed by the
Resource Protection Division director. Not all of the inquiries have a TPWD
response. Files include a log of projects, the initial inquiry and any
supporting documents, which may include agreements, certificates, proposals,
correspondence, budget data, project construction tasks, project summaries,
environmental assessments, and reports. Also present is correspondence with the
entity proposing or funding the project, usually a federal, state, or local
agency. A few projects were proposed by private companies. Dates covered are
1991-1996. Unless otherwise noted, each file contains several inquiries. Files
of inquiries with a large amount of material are filed separately and the topic
is noted in the inventory. |
|
Types of projects reviewed include ground water protection, animal
waste utilization, improvements to water quality, mosquito control,
consolidation of endangered species, hunting programs, management of grasslands
and national forests, wetlands protection, Galveston Bay National Estuary
Program, response to hazardous substance spills, disposal and reuse of a Naval
Air Station, a proposed mine, replacement and expansion of an international
bridge, fisheries development and utilitization, closing of military bases,
abandonment of railway lines, reconfiguration of a nuclear weapons complex,
analysis of pesticides in biological tissues of fish, pollution prevention, and
reclamation projects. |
|
The originating agencies, those submitting the requests, include
federal agencies such as the United States Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S.
Department of the Interior, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and the U.S. Department of Energy; state
agencies such as the Texas Department of Agriculture, the Agricultural
Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Board, the Texas Forest
Service, and the Water Development Board; local government agencies; a few
universities; and a few private companies. State and federal agencies are the
funding sources for most of the projects. Many of the letters between the TPWD
and the federal agencies were funneled through the Texas Office of State and
Federal Relations. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged as received by the agency in reverse
chronological order by the date on the inquiry. Some misfilings were corrected
by State Archives staff. |

Corps of Engineers environmental assessment project files,
1962,
about 1970-1997, bulk 1988-1995,
13 cubic ft. |
|
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Resource Protection
Division's duties included protecting fish, wildlife, plant and mineral
resources from degradation or depletion, investigating environmental
contamination that might cause the loss of fish or wildlife, providing
information and recommendations to other government agencies and participating
in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning pollution incidents,
development projects, and other actions that might affect fish and wildlife.
Records in this series reflect several of these activities and consist of
permit application summary sheets, proposed action public notices,
correspondence, memos, environmental assessments or environmental impact
statements, statements of findings, and reviews and comments on projects that
may have an adverse environmental impact on the fish and wildlife habitat.
Dates covered are 1962, about 1970-1997, bulk 1988-1995. Materials are listed
on the original box inventories as being filed between 1986 and 1997, the bulk
filed 1992-1993. Most permit applications have additional paperwork that dates
back to about 1988; many files have supporting documentation dating back to
about 1970. |
|
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S. Code Ann.,
Section 661 et seg.) mandates that state fish and game agencies be included in
any comments on projects that may affect the water of the United States. The
bulk of the files concern wetland permits filed under Section 404 of the
federal Clean Water Act. This section gives the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
broad authority to issue permits for the discharge of dredged or fill material
into the navigable waters of the United States. Documents were sent from the
Corps of Engineers to TPWD for comments on a variety of projects, including
those affecting coastal waters, wetlands, river basins, and the Gulf
Intracoastal Waterways. Specific types of projects included dredging, building
or repairing pipelines, mitigating new areas for development, diverting flood
water, improving ship channels, constructing boat houses and other structures
along water lines, building canals, constructing pumping stations, making
improvement to roads and shorelines, etc. Proposed projects were requested by
federal agencies, state agencies, local governments, and private companies.
|
|
The review documents may include maps, project diagrams,
photographs, and other supporting data. Some of the projects will also include
statements of findings or environmental assessments by the Corps of Engineers.
The TPWD reviews were coordinated through the Resource Conservation Branch,
Resource Protection Division. The Upper and Lower Coast Wetlands team members
reviewed projects and made site visits, coordinating their efforts with other
departmental divisions when necessary. Comments were prepared in the form of a
letter or a no impact statement. Letters were coordinated through the Resource
Conservation Branch. Most were signed by the executive director of TPWD, some
by the assistant director of the Resource Protection Division. Responses were
sent to the lead agency, which was the Corps of Engineers for these records.
Correspondence was largely between TPWD and the Corps of Engineers. Other
correspondents include the Texas Water Commission, the U.S. Department of the
Interior, local government offices, private companies, and others. |
|
Arrangement |
|
These records are arranged into five groups as received from the
agency: U.S. Corps of Engineers environmental assessments ordered by file
numbers (four groups, each with different file document schemes), and U.S.
Corps of Engineers topical environmental assessments. The files in groups one
through three are further arranged by file number order within each group;
files in group four are roughly arranged by date. Files in the last group are
in topical order as received. |

Wetland Conservation Program project files,
1972-1999,
bulk 1988-1994,

|
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) Resource Protection
Division's duties included protecting fish, wildlife, plant and mineral
resources from degradation or depletion, investigating environmental
contamination that might cause the loss of fish or wildlife, providing
information and recommendations to other government agencies and participating
in administrative and judicial proceedings concerning pollution incidents,
development projects, and other actions that might affect fish and wildlife.
Files contain letters, memos and reports concerning environmental assessment
projects of the division's Wetlands Conservation Program, dating 1972-1999,
bulk 1988-1994. Topics discussed include the Clean Water Act and Section 404
permits, wetlands protection, flood control, Corps of Engineers permits,
revisions to the state's water quality certification rules, marsh management,
shore erosion, navigation on lakes and rivers, modifications to lakes and
rivers, coastal zone management, oil spill response, seagrass, endangered
species, wildlife habitat enhancement, and other issues. Many of the materials
are internal memoranda of the Resource Protection Division staff both within
its division and with other divisions or offices in TPWD. Outside
correspondents include federal agencies, other state agencies, local
governments, companies, and organizations. |
|
Files are present for the Texas Natural Resources Conservation
Commission's (TNRCC) 401 Regulatory Guidance Ad Hoc Work Group. The group was
charged with developing a regulatory guidance document for implementing TNRCC's
401 water quality certification rules, with regard to the review of Section 404
permits under the federal Clean Water Act. The goal of the group was to tackle
issues such as mitigation, improving predictability, and balancing economic and
environmental concerns. The working group included members from TPWD and the
Texas General Land Office. Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act gives
states the authority to review and certify federally permitted or licensed
activities that may result in a discharge of pollutants to waters of the United
States. The state 401 certification is conducted to insure that federally
permitted activities comply with state water quality standards. State authority
for water quality certifications can be found in the Texas Administrative Code,
Section 30, Chapter 279. Section 404 of the federal Clean Water Act gives the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers broad authority to issue permits for the discharge
of dredged or fill material into the navigable waters of the United States. |

regulating or managing natural resource use within the Texas coastal area. It
administers the Coastal Management Program (CMP). The chair of the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Commission serves on this Council. As a member of the Council he
can appointment someone to serve on the Executive Committee. During the time
period covered by these records the division director for the Resource
Protection Division served on the Council's Executive Committee as a

Topics discussed include the Coastal Management Program (CMP), policy
development, rule certification, drafting a memorandum with the Corps of
Engineers, dredging guidelines, and consistency reviews, which are reviews of
projects for impacts to coastal natural resource areas (CNRAs) and the Coastal
Management Program. Several files are present for the Threshold and Rule
Certification Task Force, composed of Council members and few others, including
additional TPWD staff from the Resource Protection Division. |
|
History of Council |
|
The Coastal Coordination Council (Council) was established in 1991

federal, and local programs and activities of the Texas coast. It is charged
with adopting uniform goals and policies to guide decision-making by all
entities regulating or managing natural resource use within the Texas coastal
area. It administers the Coastal Management Program (CMP). The Council reviews
significant actions taken or authorized by state agencies and subdivisions that
may adversely affect coastal natural resources to determine their consistency
with the CMP goals and policies. In addition, the Council oversees the CMP
Grants Program and the coastal Permit Service Center. The Council is chaired by
the Commissioner of the General Land Office. The other members of the Council
are the chair of the Parks and Wildlife Commission or a member of the
commission designated by the chair; the chair of the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality or a member of the commission designated by the chair; a
member of the Railroad Commission of Texas appointed by that commission; the
chair of the Texas Water Development Board or a member of the board designated
by the chair; the chair of the Texas Transportation Commission or a member of
the commission designated by the chair; a member of the State Soil and Water
Conservation Board appointed by that board; the director of the Texas A & M
University Sea Grant Program serving as a non-voting member; and four
gubernatorial appointees. The appointees are a local elected official who
resides in the coastal area, an owner of a business located in the coastal area
