Annual Reports

Texas Wildlife Association (TWA) turned 40 in 2025 and it was a transformational year for the organization in many ways. For over four decades now, the organization has worked to conserve our state’s natural resources by protecting the rights of landowners and hunters, ensuring their ability to continue stewarding our state’s
wildlife and habitat long into the future.

In 2025, we continued to see strong performance in all three of our organizational pillars: Conservation Legacy, Hunting Heritage and Advocacy. Our education and hunting programs combined to impact more than 825,000 youth and adults through natural resource education programs and safe/educational hunting opportunities. On the Advocacy front, your volunteer leaders and staff continued to serve as a strong voice for science based natural resource policy and landowner/hunter rights in the halls of the Texas Capitol and in multiple regulatory forums.

The 40th Anniversary Convention provided a great opportunity to reflect on our organization’s roots and build important resources and momentum for the future. The event saw strong attendance, record-setting fundraising numbers, and several special events highlighted by a panel of 12 past presidents at our Saturday Awards Luncheon. TWA Co-Founder, Larry Weishuhn, was also recognized with the Ray Murski Friend of Wildlife Award, tying the perfect bow on a very special event.

Texas Wildlife Association Foundation (TWAF) enjoyed a strong year with three successful fundraising events, strong grant support and generous contributions through our annual End of Year appeal. The generosity of our TWAF donors directly drives the success of our educational and hunting programs, providing our staff with the resources to continue impacting more and more Texans each year.

As we look forward to 2026, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all of the members, donors, volunteers, partners and friends that have kept the organization thriving for more than 40 years. We are proud of the accomplishments of the first 40 and are well prepared to take on the challenges of the future.
