The Texas Game and Fish Commission approved a complete reorganization plan at its Austin meeting. It envisions five regional divisions with centralized administration, reduced hatchery operations, motor vehicle purchases for wardens, and a new license sale system at a four percent discount. A $200,000 fund would create recreational facilities in state parks and lakes. The plan relocates many employees and adds some new staff to handle rising demand. Final adoption hinges on legislative action.
