As of New Years Day, all vehicles on public land or land that was purchased using TP&W grants will be required to purchase an $8 sticker to display on their vehicles.  This includes parks such as Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area in Gilmer, which is one of the locations in which stickers are available. 

From the Texas Parks and Wildlife website -

Whether you ride dirt bikes, all-terrain vehicles, or a 4x4 truck, an off-highway vehicle is a great way to spend time together outdoors with your family and friends. There are many exciting sites in Texas to ride and new sites are always opening. Many sites also offer hiking and camping which makes it easy to take the whole family along for an outdoors adventure.

The Texas Off-Highway Vehicles (OHV) Program is a new program to help make it easier to find places to ride safely and to encourage more responsible use of the outdoors. The program is also designed to provide funding to develop more recreational areas for OHV users.

An OHV decal is now required by law for all individuals operating an OHV in Texas in an area that is located on public land, or on lands that have been purchased with Texas Parks & Wildlife Department OHV grants.
