HB 4938 abolishes the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) and transfers its duties to the General Land Office (GLO), Department of Agriculture, and Department of Public Safety (DPS). The GLO will manage parks and natural areas, the Department of Agriculture will oversee wildlife and conservation, and DPS will enforce game laws and water safety. The bill mandates a memorandum of understanding between these agencies to ensure a smooth transition​.
