Question about the purple- no trespassing

[OldPhart]

A picture would help because I have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm surprised that no one has posted a picture of the one eye one horn flying purple
people eater.yet.

PURPLE-PEOPL EATER!

There's a tree near my front door. Wonder if a couple purple stripes on it will discourage the constant sales door knockers ?

Just make sure they are vertical and at least 1" x 8" and are between 3 and 5 feet above ground.

I asked my wife if she knew what a puple fence post means and she did. She even pointed one out on our neighbors fence.
I had never heard of it.

Paint the whole door purple and be done.

Signs were adequate for many years, but became problematic because people started ripping off the signs. They - or, oftentimes, the next guy - didn't know the property was Posted (because it no longer was) so trespassing was hard to enforce and prosecute.
For example, in the '90s (before the purple paint law), I lived near Carter's Country, there were thousands of acres of woods nearby where NO TRESPASSING signs were posted over 20' in the air (and outside people's field of vision) because if they were posted at a normal height they disappeared. The purple paint rule made things easier for the landowners and cops to enforce the law.

Good point. Thanks for the info.

I guess you just can't paint your sidewalk purple then

Can someone please point me in the direction of where I can find some literature about how the purple painting became a thing and why purple. I briefly looked last night, but all I could find is what it means. I wanna know the origins.


Thanks

Texas Parks and Wildlife should have it on their website somewhere.

They teach it as part of the Hunters Education Program.

At least they did last time I attended one.
