Thanks lonegun1894 and AG-EE.

I talked to a deputy and according to him if there is no county or city law regarding discharge of firearms you can shoot all you want to. As long as the bullets stay on your property. He said you can shoot any direction you want as long as the bullets stay on your property, you only commit a crime if the bullet leaves your property.

So, my neighbors aren't doing anything unlawful UNTIL somebody gets shot or animals or property are damaged.

But then again, I can shoot on my property too.

I need a little help on this topic.

I live in Waller Co. out in the county outside of any city. I'm aware of TX Penal Code 22.05 Deadly Conduct....... (b) A person commits an offense if he knowingly discharges a firearm at or in the direction of:.....(2) a habitation, building, or vehicle and is reckless as to whether the habitation,ect. is occupied.

Is there anything in the law about how far away the building has to be?

I thought I read someting about having a property of more than 50 acres before you could shoot?

I'm in an area of 2-1/2, 5 and 10 acre tracts. Sometimes it sounds like a war is going on out here. I would like to have some knowledge of the law before I talk to the neighbors and or the sheriff.

Thanks, OE
