Texas Deer · Lake Tawakoni State Park

Texas Lake Tawakoni State Park covers 394 acres and lies 32 miles east of Rowlett. 100% of it is public land, mostly county or city land (100%). In 2025, 5 people hunted white-tailed deer here and took 9 (sum of published weapon rows). Its most applied-for hunt, YDE-LK, put up 4 tags (all residencies) in the 2024 draw.

No more draws here. The last one was 2024.

Texas Parks & Wildlife Department held its 2025 deer draw without Lake Tawakoni State Park. No current hunt code lists this unit; the Texas deer hunts on offer are drawn elsewhere. The odds, costs and harvest below are that history, kept for the record.

What Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes after each season, for everyone who hunted the area: harvest statistics, not draw odds. Texas Parks & Wildlife Department publishes no whole-unit line for 2025; a year's total is the sum of published weapon rows, added only where the lines do not overlap.

About These Numbers

Odds are from the 2024 draw, the latest on file, computed from Texas Parks & Wildlife Department's published results. 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.
