Yes, and Yes for your questions.
Unfortunately, Texas has become a pay to play game as for as hunting goes. It really chaps my hide.
Most of Texas is privately owned, and many of the larger LOs don't/won't fool with leases anymore if you are not willing to pay$. Walking up and knocking on the door for permission from a farmer has been destroyed by trophy (horn) hunting and technology. However, the majority of LOs in Texas are good ole country folk and willing and wanting to help out someone. The wind blows both ways. Start by going to your local feed stores, FSA offices, Church, local charities, etc. Show them that you want to be there and willing to help out; Introduce yourself. Many of our LOs are up in age and the kiddos no longer want/care to manage the smaller farms/ranches. If you see a farmer on the side of the road mending fence all by himself, then stop and help him out with an extra hand. The Golden Rule goes a long ways down here.
There are however; some excellent opportunities on public land to score a good buck or small game hunting. You just have to do your homework. Chancey

Another piece of advise on moving to Texas. Bring a truck load of cash. They tax you and fee you to death. If you can get over the crazy prices for land or housing, brace yourself, it’s only the beginning. Please explain yourself on "they tax you and fee you to death"

We love our vets here in Texas. Take a little time to make friends and I am sure you will have plenty of places to hunt. Texas Parks and Wildlife offers draw hunts and there is the National Forests. Welcome, sir. No joke. I’m a disabled vet so I get some breaks bc of that, but taxes aren’t close to what I had up there

Most of the guys I know go towards the panhandle to get a lease they can afford. The further you can find a place form the big cities the better. Try and find a few guys you trust and go together on a lease. Do exactly what the landowner wants. Besides the cash don’t forget him/her on holidays. I always offered some game or fish and always ask if anything needs done. Even though you’re paying it’s a privilege to be on their ground. The first thing grandpa always said when we got to his lease near Brownwood was footprints only boys. Words of wisdom! Good luck

Still no state income tax in Texas?

Welcome to Texas. I trade predator control work for hunting and fishing privileges on some of the large ranches around here. You could probably do the same....
