Be prepared to buy an out of state licens. Hogs are a varment, but you have to have a licens to hunt them in Texas. $300.00 for a general non-residence. Or that is what it was a few years back. Not sure if there is some special license for varments. There use to be a special non-residence license for $125.00. Not sure what the special licens is. You will also have to get an archery tag if you are bow hunting.
