I was curious if anyone else had a problem receiving their digital Texas hunting license electronically this year?
My license was mailed to me instead of giving me the digital version.

Was this your first time attempting to purchase electronically?
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

Oddly, I did the electronic signup as well and they sent me a hard copy. I don't care either way, to be honest, but I was surprised by what I received. This was not my first signup online, but the first time trying to do it for the digital version.

First time for me to purchase the digital license and it has worked flawlessly. Took about 20 minutes from the time of purchase until it showed up on my phone.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Did you both use "My Texas Hunt Harvest" App, Purchase a license, all from the mobile app?
I did, no issues.

Does this hunt harvest app take the place of a tag, or just report a harvest? Reason I ask is that when I was hunting the Panhandle a couple of weeks ago, one of my buds from Louisiana showed me his app for Louisiana and you can actually "tag" your deer electronically when you harvest a deer in that State.

Yes, no paper license or paper tag. You kill, open app, log it and you get a confirmation # that you write on a piece of tape and attach to the animal. I use white, cloth type medical tape and the same pen I carried when I was completing paper tags and the harvest log on the back of license. I like it, don't have to carry license, just the phone that I have with me at all times anyway.

What happens if you don't have cell reception? Can you move the deer until you can get reception?

What happens if you don't have cell reception? Can you move the deer until you can get reception? They thought of that. It gives you an error message, "try again when within coverage". You can move the kill. As soon as you move into an area with coverage you open the app again and your number will be there. You don't have to re-enter anything. I had this very issue a few days ago.

I have purchased a digital license two consecutive years. Has worked flawlessly. I really like it.

It weighs almost nothing and If you were a better hunter and used some tags it gets even thinner

@nxtrapper: It may get lighter, but not actually thinner. Not to mention it is just more cool to use an App. I want to be cool.

I suspect that sometime over the next few years it will become digital only.

On the two TWA hunts I had a few folks had them. It was a little tricky finding their document number, which is the actual license number. The customer number listed first is not the license number.

You will probably not get anything anyway because you’re playing on your phone instead of hunting
