How many know what it means?

I always thought it meant "enter here".

It means no one is welcome or so that's what I grew up being told. I think referring to BP for example. Then again the rio grande valley can be back asswards. So I wouldn't be shocked if I was totally wrong.

Private property...keep out

Any responsible hunter should. If i remember correctly, they cover it in hunter safety classes, and it is in the tpw booklet offered when you renew your license.

funny

no hunting, no trespassing.
one of the first hunting rules I learned.

Either no hunting or a Tarleton State alumni or maybe both

It means proceed with caution. HA. It means stay out. No Entrada. Do not pass go. Turn around now. No trespassing.

§ 30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS. (a) A person commits an
offense if he enters or remains on or in property, including an
aircraft or other vehicle, of another without effective consent or
he enters or remains in a building of another without effective
consent and he:
(1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or
(2) received notice to depart but failed to do so.
(b) For purposes of this section:
(1) "Entry" means the intrusion of the entire body.
(2) "Notice" means:
(A) oral or written communication by the owner or
someone with apparent authority to act for the owner;
(B) fencing or other enclosure obviously
designed to exclude intruders or to contain livestock;
(C) a sign or signs posted on the property or at
the entrance to the building, reasonably likely to come to the
attention of intruders, indicating that entry is forbidden;
(D) the placement of identifying purple paint
marks on trees or posts on the property, provided that the marks
are:
(i) vertical lines of not less than eight
inches in length and not less than one inch in width;
(ii) placed so that the bottom of the mark
is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet
from the ground; and
(iii) placed at locations that are readily
visible to any person approaching the property and no more than:
(a) 100 feet apart on forest land; or
(b) 1,000 feet apart on land other
than forest land; or
(E) the visible presence on the property of a
crop grown for human consumption that is under cultivation, in the
process of being harvested, or marketable if harvested at the time
of entry.

Rifleman is at it again...I always wonder why people bother with all the hassle of painting posts or trees. Texas is a private property state. If it's fenced and you don't have permission to be on the property, you're trespassing, period. No need to mark YOUR land with purple paint. Besides, it denigrates the beauty of a place...Unless you're a Tarleton alum.

i give up. what does it mean???

I thought it meant only hunt here at night

That's not your usual bazooka Mr. Jones. How many pigs can you kill at one time with that?
That looks like the land around lake Meredith BTW

It means archery only, wear camo and keep hidden. ???

you'd be surprised...



it all depends on where you hunt!



(just kidding )

They'd rather hang themself than get shot by you!

what a waste of time & money.

My girlfriend, an Attorney, has a funny story about this I don't have time tell right now. The punch line is... a court order signed by a Judge trumps all the purple paint in the world.

congratulations on making it this far....

The person who owns this property's favorite color is purple and he picks a mean banjo...C'mon in.

it all depends on where you hunt!

Looks like Matador to me

Doesn't mean anything if:
1. you're color-blind
2. a poacher
3. an illegal
4. it's dark and can't see it

But normally means PRIVATE PROPERTY - NO TRESSPASSING

I agree, but I had a county commissioner and a sheriff's deputy tell me they didn't know what it meant.
