Region IV consists of 18,348 square miles along the upper coast, including the greater Houston area, and extends inland to College Station. Texas Game Wardens in this region are responsible for recreational boating and fishing in Lake Conroe and Matagorda Bay, as well as enforcing commercial fishing regulations for the oyster and shrimp fisheries of Galveston Bay, the upper coast, and the Gulf of Mexico. Hunting season keeps these wardens busy with everything from deer to waterfowl and dove.
