TPWD MISSION AND PHILOSOPHY
MISSION
To manage and conserve the natural and cultural resources of Texas and to provide hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation
opportunities for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. (Hmmm...so I guess they're going to arrange private non-game hunts for all of us with the private-land owners since there will be virtually no opportunities to take non-game species on public lands)
PHILOSOPHY
In fulfilling our mission, we will:
• Ensure compliance with statutory and commission direction;
• Balance outdoor recreation with conservation as we manage and protect natural and cultural resources; (OH REALLY!)
• Rely on sound science to guide conservation decisions; (Hmmm)
• Demonstrate that stewardship can improve current conservation problems and can help Texas meet the conservation
challenges of the future;
• Prioritize incentives over regulations; (Not this time)
• Responsibly manage finances and appropriations to ensure the most efficient and effective use of tax-payer resources;
• Provide the highest possible standards of service, fairness, courtesy and respect to our customers; (Fairness?)
• Strive for simplification of agency rules, regulations and processes;
• Rely on a team-based approach to problem solving;
• Ensure staff are adequately trained;
• Look to the future to identify new conservation customers and devise programs needed to engage them into the
21st century.
What a joke. You should throw this back at them somehow with the legislators.
