Texas Parks Commission raises entrance fees for 42 parks
Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approves a dual fee plan with $1 per car on 30 parks and 50 cents on others. The scheme aims to raise about $9 million over ten years to back bond issues for park expansion, with initial projects around major metropolitan areas and potential sites like Velasco and Grapevine Reservoir. A $12 yearly pass offers access to all parks, while some facilities retain current fees.
