AUSTIN — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is accepting applications for its 66th Texas Game Warden Cadet class. As fully commissioned peace officers, game wardens are responsible for the enforcement of Texas laws across the state, including water safety, natural resource protection and environmental management. Unconstrained by city or county jurisdictions, Texas Game Wardens patrol the state’s natural waterways, oversee hunting and fishing regulations and often support local landowners. Additionally, game wardens learn specialized skills, making them a reliable resource for disaster response.
