Based on current and projected landings estimates, the private recreational angler red snapper season in fed- eral waters o the Texas coast will close at 12:01 a.m., Friday, earlier than the initially projected 97- day season, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. is is the second year of an agreement between the TPWD and the Na- tional Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), where TPWD can establish the opening and closing of the red snapper fishery in federal waters o the Texas coast for private recreational anglers  sh- ing from their own ves- sels. As part of this agree- ment, also known as an Exempted Fishing Per- mit, Texas must close the  shery when the state’s allotted poundage is reached. Red snapper catch estimates through July 12 from federal wa- ters indicates Texas pri- vate recreational anglers have landed 69 percent of the allocation.
