No, Sir, it was verbal. Like I said, 10 acres for our county. My sister and b-i-l moved here after they retired from the Houston area. They bought a bit of acreage outside of town so Dept of Wildlife was who I thought could best answer the question.Russell wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 5:15 pmK-Texas wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 5:12 pmI just called the local TX Dept of Wildlife office. They said 5 acres statewide unless overridden by county. It's been a few years, but like I said, "when in doubt, ask a Game Warden." Last I heard, they still have more jurisdiction than any LE agencie in TX. There have been instances around here where Game Wardens were even involved in busting meth labs.
I don't doubt it! But I also just had my local Constables tell me I fell under municipal restrictions when I know for a fact I don't.
Did they happen to give you the statute they are citing that from? I don't doubt them, I just like to read myself.
How close you are to a metropolitan area may be the prevalent consideration. Brown Co, where I live, according to deer density maps is solid black. Deer season is big business here, so undoubtedly, ranchers who lease to hunters may won't to have a higher minimum acreage requirement so that someone doesn't buy 5 acres next to them and set out a feeder during deer season, LOL!
