And you can keep others off of it?
Not in Texas!
Try fighting an oil or gas exploration company.
A group of our neighbors have banded together in an attempt to mitigate the damages and inconvenience caused by their work in our area. See website: Oakridge Ranch Environmental Organization - ORREO Look at the FAQ page.
Well, they arrived. My wife left the house at 5 PM to visit her sister. She got home at 7 and found they went through our place. They chopped a 4 foot wide swath through the brush, tossing the debris as they went, tied surveyor's flagging all over, spray painted points, and left garbage. It was as if they were waiting for her to leave. They told us they would call before they came onto our property. Just another of their many lies! I guess we were lucky; others had it worse, including shot holes. And this is just the first stage. Let's hope they don't find any minerals.
So, who gives these companies the authority to cut fences (and let livestock out), take water from your pond, chop down trees, and not put back anything that is not "normal" to their operations? The State of Texas. So, I'm through with my rant. Fellow Texans: can we change our laws?
