Kaufman deer hunters need the statewide dates and county table

Kaufman County The Great Outdoors

TPWD has published the 2026-27 statewide deer-season dates. On July 12, 2026, the Kaufman County table still displayed 2025-26 county details. Those two vintages should not be combined into one homemade rule sheet.

Use the statewide page for the broad season calendar, then wait for or confirm the matching Kaufman County table before relying on bag limits, antler rules, doe days, or special programs.

Check again close to the hunt. County rules, property rules, license requirements, and any Managed Lands Deer Program terms all matter, and the current Outdoor Annual controls.
