No minimum legal age in Texas. But the catch is you have to have a hunter ed certificate to get a license and you aren't eligible for certification until you're 12.
On public permit hunts in Texas the minimum age is 8...no hunter ed certificate, you have to be under the immediate control of an adult (18 or older) with a hunting license. I don't believe a hunting license is required for someone under 16, but I may be mistaken.
