Beyond the just wanton killin' of critters - you have to have a valid hunting license to kill turtles in Texas. As far as plinking in the criks - if you are discharging a firearm in incorporated areas or near homes - you may be distracted for a while by the Denton County Sheriff office. Also remember that if you are on US Army Corps of Engineers fee-owned land - you risk a citation or worse there as well. Sorry to be such a buzz killer - you asked!
