What part of Texas are you looking at? It is expensive but there are exceptions those are really hard to find. If you are in central Texas look at fort hood. You can purchase a permit to hunt rates varies by status military, retired, civilian. I was lucky enough to find two small
Farms to hunt. I worked around and helped as needed and got access really cheap. They are out there it's just the approach. It took me 2 years to get access on one but its full of hogs and deer. Good luck on your search
