Don't want to rain on your parade, and I think all hogs need killed because they are so destructive but....you need a hunting license to shoot hogs in Texas. There is no closed season and no limit but if you keep any part of the hog, or are doing it as a sport, by Texas game laws you are hunting. If the hogs are destroying land or crops then the hogs can be shot without a license, but mostly that exception is limited to the landowner. Call texas parks and wildlife and ask. Would not want you to get in trouble.
