Anyone know when Texas is supposed to announce the waterfowl seasons for this year? Arkansas has theirs posted and was hoping Texas would soon.

Heard they weren't having one because of the oil spill. J/K dude.
Only thing I could find was the proposed schedule. I'm sure it won't be far off from that.
