TX license on TX side

[Spunt Drag]

A guy at work asked me if you had to have a Texas license when u launch on the Texas side of Toledo, I said no, he asked why not. I didn't have a solid answer. Please help

You can use your LA license but you have to follow TX fish regulations.

Does that hold true for Sabine lake too?

I do believe so. That's how I've always understood it.

Toledo is a TX or LA license on either side. I believe most of the limits are the same now. I know they just changed the white perch to 25 and no size limit on the lake. Bass is 8 fish 14".

They have a reciprocal agreement between the states that allows this.

Not sure about other bodies of water.

Jchief stated it correctly. It is true for sabine lake also. In fact I believe it is true for any body of water that the common border runs through. Also LA seniors can fish anywhere in TX with a LA senior license.
