there is no such thing as Public Land in Texas....  at least no very much. You can go to far eastern Oklahoma and hunt Rios on public land near Cheyenne . I've done it three times and killed birds every time. 2-3 bird counties. Cheap motels and good cheap food last I went.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

As Troy said, somewhere around 95% of the state of Texas is privately owned.
The other 5% is public ground but I "think" most of that is draw hunts and they get hammered.
If you are wanting a Rio, go to Oklahoma or Kansas. There is public ground there and from what I've heard, they don't get much pressure.

I looked into a Texas DIY hunt and decided that I'd be better suited to spend my money elsewhere. There seems to be very little public land and I couldn't be positive that any of it had good numbers of birds. All of this was done behind a keyboard so there may be a honeyhole or two but I'm more comfortable spending my hard earned money going elsewhere.

Public hunting is very limited in Texas. 99% privately owned. Turkey hunting is not that big there either. We called them "Corn Buzzards" because they could clean out a feeder in a matter of minutes.

Pick you out a town near a river with trees and stop in town, make sure you're hungry.
