Greetings (again)--
It sound like this could become a troublesome issue for you and your family vs the neighbors.
Document, document, document.
Document all calls and visits from the animal control office. Document all calls, letters, conversations with the neighbors. Document through photos/video the dog on your property.
I realize this can become a pain. However, should any action on your part become necessary to protect your family and property, you have established a "reasonable and prudent" attempt to resolve the problem. Perhaps , then you will not be portrayed as a reactionary, gun toating, dog killing fiend. Keep a copy of the TX statues posted previously handy.
I dont know how the City there in Mabank runs, but sometimes a conversation with the local City councilperson can get some results, in relation to the Animal Control office's lack of action.
A paintball gun does sound like a reasonable approach. Perhaps a few good *pops* will deter the dog from coming around. Maybe one of the kids in town has one you can borrow ?

Greetings--
If the dog in question gets close enough for you to spray him-- then this may work. One of those "super soaker" giant kids water guns, loaded with a healthy dose of ammonia and water with a touch of cayenne pepper will give the dog a painful shot in the snoot. Sprinkle cayenne pepper across his path to your yard afterwards-- he'll remember....
I always hate to hear that someone had to shoot a "pet" animal. But-- sometimes if its owners aren't concerned about the damage it has been causing.....then.....
