The Sunset Advisory Commission is reviewing the mission and performance of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and welcomes public comments on whether the agency is still needed and ideas to improve its operations and services. The Texas Sunset Act requires the Sunset Commission to periodically review TPWD and recommend whether to continue the agency and change state law to improve the agency’s efficiency and effectiveness. The Legislature ultimately will decide whether to continue TPWD and adopt Sunset’s other statutory recommendations. The Sunset Commission also may adopt management directives for TPWD that do not require statutory change.
Here are several ways to provide comments and suggestions to Sunset staff on TPWD’s mission, operations, and services:
Please provide your comments by December 2, 2019, to ensure Sunset staff can fully consider your input while conducting their review. Comments submitted before the staff report is published in June 2020 will remain confidential.
