OUTDOORS: TPWD offers updated application
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.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.
“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”
McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.
McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.

After some coaching time in East Texas, Bret Botard will be the new girl’s basketball coach at Bowie.
Botard said it’s a chance to work with Bowie Athletic Director Tyler Price once again. Price was Botard’s assistant when he coached at Nocona.
“I wanted to get back into the area,” Botard said. “It’s a good community.”
Botard graduated high school in 1995 from Del Valle High School, outside Austin, and went to Texas Tech. He started his coaching career in Lubbock followed by returning to his alma mater where he was an assistant for his high school coach.
