Texas issued its first license stamp in 1971 for a long-running series of dove hunting stamps. Archery hunting stamps followed in 1975 and waterfowl hunting stamps in 1981, later than most states. Three additional series were inaugurated in 1985 - trout fishing, saltwater fishing, and nongame stamps. Wild turkey hunting stamps were introduced in 1991, followed by muzzleloader hunting stamps in 1994. In 1996, the era of mandatory stamps for hunting and fishing ended, as the individual stamp series changed to voluntary collector stamps that were all printed in a single booklet pane that over time shrunk from eight stamps to seven stamps with a blank label, and finally to just six stamps. The muzzleloader collector stamp series ended in 2003. In 2004 the collector trout stamp was replaced by a collector freshwater fishing stamp and in 2005 the turkey and white-winged dove collector stamps were replaced by a collector upland game bird stamp. Finally, in 2015 the last collector booklet pane of six stamps was printed and all the stamp series ended.

Muzzleloader Hunting Stamps
The Texas Muzzleloader Hunting Stamp series began in 1994 but only the first two stamps were required to validate licenses. As described above, in 1996 all license stamp series were replaced by collector stamps that were neither required nor valid for hunting.

As noted previously, Texas ended all mandatory license stamp series in 1995 and replaced them with collector stamps printed se-tenant in a single booklet pane. Throughout the series, the waterfowl collector stamps always occupied the top right position in the pane, so they all have straight edges at the top and right side of the stamp.
