When you buy land in the U.S. especially in Texas, does that mean you truly own everything that comes with the property?

There are property rights, deeds, easements, property taxes, mineral rights, zoning and other regulations that can affect what you can actually do with your land.

Have you ever noticed purple paint or purple posts along fences, trees, or property boundaries? In some states, these markings serve as a legal notice that trespassing is prohibited.

In this video, we discuss the meaning behind purple posts, how landowners use them to mark private property, and why it's important to understand local trespassing laws.
