Well, Pottsy I think you are right. I have actually heard of criminals sueing homeowners for being injured while they were burgalrizing there homes. The world is a crazy place and all we can do is live in it.
I forgot to mention to my fellow Texans that there is a way of posting your property without the use of signs. It is a little strange, but some law maker has made it a law so we can utilize it. How do you post your property without signs? Purple paint!!! Yes purple paint! The law reads as follows, The placement of purple paint on trees or posts on the property, provided the marks are: vertical lines of no less then eight inches in length and one inch in width. Placed so that the bottom of the mark is no less than three feet from the ground or no more then five feet from the ground. Placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property, 100 feet apart on forest land and 1,000 feet apart on all other lands.
I know, I don't write the laws I just enforce them. This will, however save you some money on signs if you have a whole lot of land to post. Hope this helps!
