Re: public shooting area
My understanding is less than 3% of Texas is public land.
Some people simply need a high five, to the face, with a chair!

Re: public shooting area
The land under navigable streams is legally open to public access in Texas (roughly 1 million acres, according to TPWD,) but I have no idea if it's legal to shoot there.

Re: public shooting area
You cannot target shoot at Texas Annual Public Hunting lands.

Re: public shooting area
Interesting.
SAM HOUSTON NATIONAL FOREST WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA
Annual Public Hunting Lands Permit: $40.00. Anyone possessing a centerfire firearm, a shotgun with shot larger than #2 steel and #4 lead or a muzzleloading firearm or bow and arrow with broadhead hunting point. Limited Public Use Permit: $10.00. Is determined by the caliber of gun which is anything smaller than centerfire or having shots smaller than #2 teel or #4 lead.
.....
The discharge of a firearm for target shooting in other than a designated target practice area is an offense.
Course, I've got no idea where a designated practice area is... And can't find a reference.
