Texas wildlife exemption annual report deadlines by county

Checked November 1, 2026

There is no statewide deadline for the wildlife management annual report (PWD-888). Each county appraisal district decides whether it wants the report and when it's due, so the dates run from January 31 to April 30, and some counties don't ask every year.

Don't see your county? We're still confirming it. Most districts that set a date use April 30, but call your appraisal district in January to be sure.
