Yes and no. Here is my understanding of the law (not being a lawyer but growing up on a ranch). On a farm to market or county road Texas if there are no county laws then the owner has no responsibility. If there are such county laws in place, or if it occurs on a state or interstate highway then you have to prove the owner knowingly allowed the animals onto the road or the right of way. Previous escapes, gates left open, general upkeep of the fence; things of that nature. On an interstate I would imagine there are probably some federal laws, but I have no clue about those.Pawpaw wrote:This is incredibly bad advice. If livestock escape the fence and wander into a roadway, the owner is responsible for any damage that may result.
