Texas wildlife exemption guides
The rules for converting 1-d-1 ag valuation to wildlife management use are short, but the details trip people up every year. These guides cover the ones that matter — in plain English, with the statute citations so you can check our work.
- The real Texas wildlife exemption filing window
When to file, the 60-day good-cause extension, and what a late filing costs.
- The 3-of-7 rule: which wildlife management practices Texas requires
The seven statutory practices, why we recommend five, and the annual intensity standards most people miss.
- You bought ag-exempt land in Texas — now what?
The valuation doesn’t transfer with the deed — the re-application every new owner owes by April 30.
- A real PWD-885 example: our own 150 acres
A complete conversion package for the founder’s own 150 acres in Jack County — every document, shown honestly.
