Shoot as long as you own over 10 acres...At least,in our County...
Since, as I understand it, Texas counties can't enact ordinances how do they impose the 10 acre rule?

It isn't about firearm type.

It is about incorporated land versus unincorporated land: you need 10 acres out in the country (unincorporated land) versus 50 acres inside a city limit (incorporated land).
Read the law as the op posted above. Both apply within a municipality or ETJ. C-dub is right. In the county the limit is that it must not leave your property.
