AUSTIN — Texans now have a faster, easier and completely anonymous way to report fishing, wildlife and boating violations—putting the power to protect our natural resources right at their fingertips. Operation Game Thief (OGT), Texas’ wildlife crime-stoppers program, has launched Tip411—a new mobile app, text line and online web form that makes reporting wildlife crimes more accessible than ever.

Whether in the field, on the water, or scrolling on a phone at home, anyone can now report suspicious activity in seconds.

“Protecting Texas wildlife and our natural resources is a shared responsibility,” said Col. Ron VanderRoest, TPWD law enforcement director. “This new system makes it easier than ever for the public to speak up and make a difference while staying completely anonymous.”
