Veteran Hiring at TPWD
Texas Parks and Wildlife Department values the contributions of veterans, service members, and their families, so we remain committed to hiring veterans and supporting their work. In accordance with state law, we require that TPWD give veterans, surviving spouses of veterans, and orphans of veterans preference in the selection process when candidates are similarly qualified. We highly encourage veterans to review the Veteran Applicant Guide to ensure that their military experience is included in their online TPWD application. Additional applicant guides and resources are available below. For further questions, please contact the TPWD Veteran Liaison atvetcontact@tpwd.texas.gov.
