Over the Years, I have learned, when it comes to a specific question in the resolution of any matter our local Government
Becomes confused? As Tax payers, we are entitled to just a little more assistance...

Re: What is a "tract" for purposes of the 10-acre rule?
I do appreciate this information..Under Penal CodeTitle 9 Chapter 42 disorderly conduct, another option would be that the Shooting would exceed a certain decimal?
I did contact the Sheriff Department regarding firing a Rifle on 10 acres and they said ,if you own 10 acres or more you can shoot any caliber? He did make the statement (as far as he knew)Can the Commissioner Court overrule the 1981 Statue?
With all this information,I went ahead and emailed our County Commissioner explaining the situation..
We were in the process of Building a House when all this happened..

Re: What is a "tract" for purposes of the 10-acre rule?
We live outside any jurisdiction,city,town or incorporated area...We own over 10 acres..
Recently, a individual purchased 11 acres behind us.. Right away, he and some friends started shooting off high powered rifles..
I drove over there to introduce myself.
I first noticed they were Shooting with A-R 15 Rifle at a Bumper and at Bottles suspended 4 feet off the ground tied on a make shift horse..I jokingly told the Owner I did not want to get shot,so they moved the targets in the other direction..
The noise was deafening..
My question is under Statue Sec.229.002 the Regulation states on 10 acres you can shot with a shotgun,pistol ,bow, bob gun etc.
It states that you have to own over 50 acres to fire a Rifle or high caliber firearm.
Can they fire off a AR -15 on 10 acres or more or do they have to adhere to the sec.229.002 regulation?
Can the County rule that they can fire a AR-15 on 10 acres or more.
Personally, they can shoot all they want using a lower caliber pistol but using these Rifles are very dangerous especially
When shooting at a target off the ground ,plus we live close by.
I possess a LTC over 10 years ..
