I bought my new license online, super combo w Duck stamp and HIP cert on 9/5. I still have not gotten it in the mail. I was looking at my receipt that I took a screenshot of and the dates for the Duck Stamp say Valid from 9/5/20 Valid to 10/19/20. What the heck is that all about. Has Texas Parks and Wildlife messed up or did I? I had a Duck Stamp last year but threw license away when I bought this one so I dont know what the physical stamp says. Hope I get it before I go hunting.

No one messed up. That's the temp until you get the physical stamp in the mail. Typically just covers you for Teal.

I have the Texas Outdoor app. It displays my license and certs, and duck stamp purchase. It will not show a duck stamp purchase that was not online. Parks and Wildlife will now accept this app or a picture of your license, which I would provide both sides as proof if you don't have your physical license with you. You MUST have your physical license with you if your tags are needed in the field.

It took about 13 days from when I purchased my federal duck stamp online to show up at the house

Got my stamp fast this year.
