Texas Free Range Law

Livestock has the right of way on a Farm to Market road on in the State of Texas. Texas agricultural code states that it is the landowners responsibility to keep unwanted livestock off of thier property. We had an issue with the neighbors stud horse tearing down our fence to get to mares. After a long battle, the Texas Cattlemans Association Special Rangers told us that if we didnt want the stud on our property then it was on us to re-enforce the fence so he couldnt tear it down. The owner of the stud was at no way legaly bound to keep his horse off of my property. According to the Ranger, thats State Law, including that livestock has the right of way on a Farm to Market road.
