It blows my mind how many people trespass on the pond at my office complex. I see about a dozen each week and there are probably more that I don’t see. Security runs them off if they see them. I helped one time because I saw a guy mishandling the fish and so I went down from my office and let him have it - I told him I didn’t care if he was fishing but he needed to learn how to handle fish if he was going to fish. Is trespassing just acceptable nowadays and I’m just out of touch? ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/10/full-6864-115726-29d0dc0d_755c_4ea9_a246_93bc687b5b3f.jpeg)

Good to know. People are born to die as well. I hope the logic doesn’t carry out.

Have you been to the border lately? There are lots of people that do not care about the law anymore, all over America. Texas does have severe penalties for trespassing, but to pursue those the property should be clearly marked for no trespassing or have a barrier. However, if the angler is asked to leave and doesn’t then the authorities will usually follow-up on the case (or at least they did at one time).

Is trespassing just acceptable nowadays and I’m just out of touch? You're not out of touch - you simply have an interest and a view of a desirable piece of private property that people want to trespass on. Trespassing is a common problem for us at many of the commercial properties that we manage. Too many people have no respect for the property rights of others

I blame it on the Googans. They made videos at every office/warehouse pond in DFW.
Talking about how fire they are... I used to fish many of those same spots but was always discreet. Fishing at night or weekends. And always being low profile about it. But yeah...Googans

There are extreme abuses of property rights on both ends.
If trespassers are hurt on someone's property, owners might be liable for injury if there is no posted signs, so we always put them back up whenever they were torn down. It got to the point where it was more trouble than it was worth, for these and other reasons, so we just sold the property.
OTOH, I have seen legal navigable river access and portaging blocked by barriers or other harassment put in place by riverfront property owners. Sometimes it's necessary to get the warden involved, but in some places the good old boy system means those barriers and other property owner abuses, stay in place.
No offense meant to either side, just a reminder that life isn't fair, haha!

Trespassing is wrong plain and simple. No body has the right to fish, hunt, or be on any property that they do not own or have permission to be on. How would you feel if someone wanted to camp out in your backyard without having your permission. Besides I have seen places that are totally TRASHED by people who visit river put in and take out points, and places open to the public to fish at . City parks that have ponds, creeks, and rivers that are in them have a lot of trash left behind by people that use them. I have had several places that I was able to fish that were good places that the property owners did not care if people fished there. Due to the trash that has been left behind the places have all been posted by the land owners who are also willing to file criminal charges if someone is caught on their property without permission. I do not blame any property owner for putting up "NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS" on their property. I would do the same after seeing how people take care of the places they fish at. It's a total shame.

private property shouldnt have to be marked do not enter. a good rule of thumb is if you dont own the property you dont have the right to tresspass on it.
