The mention of a hunting license only comes after mention of hunting on public lands.

I guess I could be wrong, you may still have to pay $25 for hunting licenses.

There are exceptions for not needing hunting license:

Exceptions: a hunting license is not required to hunt the following:
Coyotes, if the coyotes are attacking, about to attack, or have recently attacked livestock, domestic animals, or fowl.
Depredating feral hogs, if a landowner (resident or non-resident) or landowner's agent or lessee is taking feral hogs causing depredation on the landowner's land.
Fur-bearing animals, if the hunter possesses a trapper's license or if the fur-bearing animals are causing depredation.

Armadillos are non-game animal, but not classified as fur-bearing animals. Better call TPWD and clear it up for Armadillos causing depredation on the landowner's land.

Re: A question of Armadillos

If it is pest problem, and you want to stop damage to property, I guess you do not need a hunting license.

Get a 0.22 rifle and snipe that bugger.
