Is that not a problem? According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant.
Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality.
tl;dr: Posts painted entirely purple are more than is required. Texas Penal Code § 30.05. Criminal Trespass
Sec 2 (D) the placement of identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property, provided that the marks are:
(ii) placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground; and
.... this seems quite clear that the mark needs to end 3 to 5 feet above the ground .... a post painted all the way to the ground is just a purple post, not a purple-marked post ... at least it's an upgrade on a rusty old pipe Doesn't the "not less than" part mean that you can paint it more if you so desire Don’t think so. I am not a lawyer but that reads as “at least” to me. E.g. two feet or even no feet is “less than” three feet and so fails the “not less than” test. I assume the point being that it shows as a clearly applied mark rather than simply happening to be a purple bit of material that was used to it make a fence. It may be that it has become common for the posts to be wholly purple and it will be thus generally understood that that is equally acceptable. I read that as a minimum requirement that you can exceed if you so desire. But I'm not a native speaker. |

On purple paint, I haven't looked it up but have unofficially heard that it may need to be 12 inches, top to bottom to be legal. I've seen a lot of guys just throw an old tyre over a fencepost, and paint that.
Unless you're working cattle or building rodeo chutes, lots of modern fence is just little metal T-posts, stretched with woven or barbed wire. Not many square inches to the post.
According to the internet "According to Central Texas Geocachers, to act as a “No Trespassing” sign, purple paint markings in Texas “must be: vertical, at least 8 inches long, at least 1 inch wide. [The] bottom of the mark should be between 3-5 feet above the ground. Markings can be no more than 100 feet apart in timberland. Markings can be no more than 1,000 feet apart on open land, [and] they must be in a place visible by those approaching the property.”" |

Ok, I'm posting a cat picture.  Or not. So no it works again, This is a weird day for me.  Fuck! What's wrong with imgur? Did it stop working with our top-notch bleeding-edge-tech forum?  My picture didn't work at first either, but then it just did, I think the forum is a bit wobbly. |

Apparently orange is purple too.
"In other states, such as Idaho, Montana and Arizona, orange is the color of choice for “No Trespassing” paint.
Can you get shot if you trespass?
Despite what many people may tell you, it’s not legal for landowners to shoot you if you happen to wander past one of these purple markers, however they do have the right to remove you with force if you’re caught trespassing."

The whole text.
"If you’re in Missouri or Illinois and come across a purple fence, turn around. Here's why.
Missouri and Illinois are two of only 11 states in the country with the “Purple Paint Law” according to a story at AWM.com. Essentially, a fence or line of trees painted bright purple is the equivalent of a giant “NO TRESPASSING” sign. Though the symbol certainly resonates closely with hunters (the special paint is even called “No Hunting Purple”) it is important to note that the trespassing ban applies to all.
As signs can be damaged or blown away, the purple paint code serves as a more effective (and cheaper) alternative to landowners.
Other states with the “Purple Paint Law” include Texas, North Carolina, Florida, Idaho, Arkansas, Montana, Arizona, and Kansas. Missouri adopted the law in 1993 and Illinois in 2011.
The law was first enacted in Arkansas in 1987 and signed by then Governor Bill Clinton."

Googled a little and found this "The law was first enacted in Arkansas in 1987 and signed by then Governor Bill Clinton."

and let the purple posts every 100 ft serve as the traditional Texas warning to officially "Fuck around and find out"
I find that you are doing purple fence posts to be so delightfully appropriate. Your color... and one the locals most likely know to respect. I guess the tradition goes back. My moms side of the family were country folk. I used to visit my grandfather in rural NC and we would take a couple cane poles for fishing. We fished in a creek on his property, but that was on the edge of his neighbors property. My grandfather, a man of few words pointed out a post with a purple top and asked me if I knew what it meant. Nope, I said. And he told me, it's a friendly way to warn people "if you go on that land they'll shoot ya" (the way my grandfather said it was more like "shoochee" lol). Is this a US thing or a local Texas thing, I have never heard of it before. I don;t think it's even the whole US. I think it is a rural south thing. From Virginia to Texas basically. Maybe it goes further west. But it is many decades old, and was a traditional thing before I think it ever ended up an actual ordinance or law, which it is now. As in it is legally recognized as a no-trespassing signal now. You can even see cans of paint sold specifically for the purpose. It is often a purple not far from Bob's own trademark pink-urple color.  I see, thanks. |

I post a nice cat card and the price goes up, you post a gay card and the price goes down. It's last year all over again, you guys never learn, do you. Posting one more just to get the price up again.  I've sended an e-mail to Coca-Cola company for a suggestion to remaster/digitalise their christmas commercial from 1995. This must the only commercial add i realy want to see it getting aired on t.v again. Pure nostalgia, great memories. Yeah, that is a good one, but since there are no blacks, hispanics, orientals, women, gays, transsexuals, dwarfs and electric vehicles in it it can unfortunately no longer be aired. |
