It's the same here in Oklahoma. You have to have hunting license, but they're considered a nuisance animal, so no season, tags, or bag limit. It's pretty great in my opinion considering if done right, wild hog taste oh so good.
As far as caliber, bullet size etc, they have a pretty thick hide, but if it will drop a deer it will drop a hog. I've been with buddies who have taken them down with .17hmr up to .308 soft points.
Just don't get caught on the ground if you've ticked one off, or a sow with young. They're mean $%-*+%-& and have some pretty wicked cutters in their mouths.
