TWRA offers these directions to ensure your permit applications are processed in a timely manner.

Applications are available at

When outfitters submit an application for a permit, they must do so to the email address on the application.

This protocol will ensure that your application is reviewed by the appropriate person in a timely manner. Applications can take up to 30 days to be processed this time of year through the correct channels.

Be sure applications include all the required documentation. Piecemeal applications are more likely to be deferred or overlooked.

Sending emails about applications or reporting to the wrong address may also result in delays or lost documents.
