Region IV

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.

The purchase of helmet-mounted night vision monocular kits will help area game wardens stop night hunters who trespass on private land to illegally poach game. This specialized equipment is also invaluable for our wardens who serve as first responders during times of natural disaster, performing hazardous search and rescue operations day and night.

UTV and Trailer

$33,000 each

(1 needed)

To better serve their area of patrol, Region IV game wardens must have access to a small but powerful vehicle to patrol hard-to-reach, remote areas, particularly in cases of search and rescue. This vehicle will reduce response time for incidents in areas with difficult terrain while significantly enhancing the ability of game wardens to carry out their duties.
