Unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes no per-level counts for this hunt; each point adds entries (points³ + 1), so the pool average is a floor for anyone holding points and an overstatement for a first-year applicant. As a lower choice, NAD-UP drew no one in 2025, so lower-choice odds are left out.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2025 draw, the latest on file, computed from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's published results (unweighted tags ÷ applicants — state did not publish pools). They are what happened in that draw, not a forecast. Under five tags a percentage carries a *, because one applicant either way swings it. A dash means the agency did not publish the number, and a date marked expected is last cycle's schedule rolled forward. How we compute these.
