List of Texas Wildlife Management Areas

Texas Wildlife Management Areas are divided into seven regions of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with the goal of managing and conserving the natural and cultural resources of Texas. There are 714,094 acres under management of the Division of Wildlife often referred to as a WMA.

WMA areas
