Terms of Use

Last updated: July 2026

By using Texas State Parks Explorer (“the Site”) you agree to these terms. The Site is a free, unofficial tool provided “as is.” This page is provided for transparency and is not legal advice.

No affiliation with TPWD

The Site is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) or the State of Texas. “Texas State Parks,” TPWD, and related names are used descriptively to refer to public parks. All park data is the property of TPWD; see the TPWD copyright policy. Park facts are sourced from TPWD and links point to official TPWD pages; for authoritative, up-to-date information (hours, fees, closures, reservations) always consult tpwd.texas.gov.

Accuracy and “as is” use

Park information — including distances, fees, amenities, alerts, and events — is provided for convenience and may be out of date or incorrect. Distances are straight-line estimates, not driving routes. We make no warranties of any kind and are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on the Site. Verify critical details (closures, fire bans, reservations) with the park before you travel.

Disclosures & affiliate links

The Site may contain third-party advertising and affiliate links. Some outbound links are affiliate links: if you click one and make a purchase or booking, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This helps keep the Site free. Affiliate relationships do not influence which parks are shown or how they are ranked. As an Amazon Associate and a participant in other affiliate programs, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Acceptable use

Please don’t use the Site to break the law, disrupt its operation, or scrape it at a volume that degrades service for others. Outbound links to third-party sites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content.

Changes

We may update these terms as the Site evolves. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
