I sent an email to the Law Enforcement Division about this. I will post the response when I receive it.

This is what I was told in 1986. But laws change.

Where did you find this on their website? I searched and was unable to find it.

Ignore this request. I use the sentence as a quote and found it at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/general-rules-regulations/definitions and at http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/freshwater-fishing/bag-length-limits.

I don't know why my first search did not find this.

This makes sense. So nobody needs to have a fish fry to get under the 50 fish limit. smile

From the 2013-2014 Outdoor Annual:
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/general-rules-regulations/definitions
Possession Limit:
The maximum number of fish a person may possess before returning to their residence. Possession limit is twice the daily bag on game and nongame fish, except as provided in this guide, and does not apply to fish in the possession of or stored by a person at their residence.

You are good to go el!

I'm even more "ole school" now. I only keep five from each trip, as that is the number we can eat the next day.

Gives us fresh fish every time and gives me an excuse to go fishing every day. smile
