PURPLE PAINT at property perimeters means DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING ONTO THIS PROPERTY.
Purple paint might be on fence posts, tree trunks or (inside cities) on the property curbs. There are detailed specifics regarding this TEXAS LAW at http://codes.findlaw.com/tx/penal-code/penal-sect-30-05.html. Fines in Texas for ignoring the PURPLE PAINT law, may be as much as $500 or more. You’ve been warned.

Wyatt is a super cool 3.5 year old, friendly-as-can-be black lab mix. He’s been living in a not-adventurous-enough scene and is a tad overweight but he is eager to shed some pounds by adventuring with his new adopter. Wyatt is great with other dogs and will probably respect cats easily and quickly. For more information about him, or any pet in the Alpine Shelter, email heatherthemule@gmail.com

(Danged, silly computer …couldn’t get the picture to load, but email Heather and I’ll bet she can send you one.)
