Each hunter has a buck/doe limit per season. The county you are hunting in will also influence what you are and are not allowed to take.

Bow season Starts the first Saturday in October and runs all the way to the first Sunday of January. You can start using a rifle the first saturday of November all the way till the end. Some counties have an extended doe and spike season for 1 week in January.

The most deer you can take is 5. Each county is different with the combination so the license handbook is great as well as the TPWD website.
There is some public hunting opportunities available. Also be sure to put in for the draw hunts that take place at various state parks and WMA. It's $3-$6 to enter and can offer some hunts if you are drawn.
