Re: What safety things do I need In my 14' Jon in case game warden stops me
Get your local boating regulations where you get your boat license. There are specific federal rules, but local rules may add to but not take from the federal requirements.

Correction - local rules can take away from federal requirements. Fed requirements only apply to fed bodies of water - no flares or any other signal devices required in MN unless you are on Superior

If you were born on or after September 1, 1993, yes, you must complete a Boater Education course to operate a PWC or a boat with a horsepower rating of more than 15 hp, and have proof on board.
The rules in the Texas Water Safety Act apply to all public water in Texas. The local governing body of incorporated cities or towns, county commissioners courts, and political subdivisions can pass rules relating to restricted areas and the operation and equipment of boats it deems necessary for the public safety. You must contact the entity in charge to determine if any special rules apply. Find the local governing entity for a specific water body.
