The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is offering its official Outdoor Annual – Texas Hunting and Fishing Regulations mobile application.
It has been updated to include season dates and bag limits for the 2014-15 waterfowl season, as well as corrections and clarifications to deer and turkey regulations in certain counties.
The application is available for free download on Apple and Android platforms, providing sportsmen with mobile access to information they can use in the field and water.
Those who have already downloaded the application, will need to install the update from their app store to ensure they are referencing accurate regulations and for optimized performance.
Once installed the app enables access to hunting and fishing regulations without having to be connected to the Internet. It can also use a device’s global-positioning capabilities to access location-specific regulations – such as exceptions to fish size and bag limits and county-specific hunting regulations.
The new app also includes links to the TPWD’s weekly fishing reports as well as the ability to reach regional law enforcement offices.
Links to purchase a license online and apply for drawn hunts are also available through the mobile application, though Internet connectivity is needed to access them.
The app can be downloaded at www.txoutdoorannual.com/app.

Nocona’s volleyball team headed to Bowie for a three-team scrimmage with the host team and Ponder Aug. 7.

Each team played the other two for 30 minutes in the Lady Rabbit gym. Lady Indian Coach Sandy Langford said she thought things went well for a first scrimmage.

“Just like any young team that is trying to find itself in a first scrimmage, We looked really good at times and at others not so much,” Langford said. “We’re forming a new team after losing a lot of seniors.”

Langford said the squad would have one thing go wrong and it would explode into several things. That will need to stop for a successful year in Langford’s mind.

Two major portions of Nocona’s 2023 bond issue are very close to being completed.

The new high school gym should be complete in time for the volleyball team to begin practice there Aug. 1, according to Superintendent Dr. David Waters. Ground on the 22,000 square foot facility was broken on Oct. 18, 2024.

Waters said a punch list meeting with the construction manager was scheduled for earlier this week with final touchups expected shortly afterwards. Fans should be able to enjoy the facility for the volleyball team’s season opener Aug. 11.

Fans will enjoy the new gym from entering the facility which has glass walls, enabling fans to watch the game from the foyer. Once inside the gym itself, there is stadium, chair back seating on the home side allowing for a much more comfortable experience.
