Foreward
This publication has been developed to present data concerning the physical characteristics of waterways in Texas. The extensive network of rivers, streams and bayous in Texas has made it impossible to inspect, first hand, all of the sections of waterways covered in this publication. Therefore, no legal assurance can be given that all points of access suggested in this publication are actually open to the public. This information presented was gained from a combination of sources including: Texas Parks and Wildlife field personnel, existing files concerning public water bodies, mail-out questionnaires, field inspections, and interviews with persons knowledgeable of Texas waterways.
