I just yesterday received the "permission letter" from the District Commander in Ft. Worth. It lists coverage for 25 lakes in the Ft. Worth district. Coincidently, Lake Texoma is not one of them. However, Lake Texoma IS listed on the letter I received last month from the Tulsa District Commander.

"Care to share a redacted copy?"

Nah, not much of a techie - and don't believe appropriate. My Sept. 2 post explains how simple it was to get the real thing.

I received a 2-page "permission letter" today from Tulsa District Commander. Pretty quick turn-around. :-) Still waiting to see what happens out of Ft. Worth office.

Prior questions: "Do they require a particular form? Or did you just draft a letter? Care to share the text of your letter? Would be interested to see how your request plays out."

No particular form that I am aware of. I REALLY did it the old fashioned way; single page, hand written (printed). Without referencing Nesbitt, I simply addressed them to "District Commander" and requested the "permission letter" to carry on recreational properties. And referenced an attached a copy of my LTC. To keep it as non-confrontational as practical, I decided not to send certified. Yep, I will post here if/when I get a reply.

In checking in for the first time in a long time at texasguntalk, I came across a thread that will likely be of great interest to many here.

The following quote summarizes:

"Keep in mind that due to a Federal Court case of Nesbitt v USACE 2018, that the USACE lost and the federal court found current regulations unconstitutional, The USACE districts are REQUIRED to issue permission letters providing you have a LTC/CHL for the state their recreational properties are located, or a Reciprocity with that state."

The original poster indicated that policy changes are in the works to make things similar to what was done with national parks. I spend a lot of time on and around Lake Lewisville and Lake Texoma and do not care to wait however long that might be.

While it appears the request may be done electronically, I plan to send mine the old fashioned way today - certified mail/return receipt so that I will have hard copies.
