In the absence of any distinctive color markings or any form of visible permanent identification (brands, tattoos or scars), the animal must be identified by indicating the location of all hair whorls, vortices or cowlicks with an "X" on the illustration provided on the VS Form 10-11. It must list owner's name, address, the animal's home premise and county, the name and address of the authorized individual collecting the test sample, and laboratory and individual conducting the test. The EIA test document shall list one horse only.

ZONING!!! Yeah that's the ticket...

As far as I can tell, a Coggins Certificate is only needed when you cross borders. The horses were disposed of locally, not across a border. IT would be up to the new owner to cntact a vet and obtain a new one. Since they are only good for 6 months to begin with, it would not be unusual for these to be exires.

Landowners who run horse businesses on their land often run into situations in which an unwelcome person attempts to come onto their property. Sometimes the unwelcome party is someone who once boarded their horse with the property owner, but no longer has a business relationship with the property owner. In other instances, the trespasser may include a current boarder who has stopped paying the property owner the agreed amount, but still comes out to enjoy the facility as well as their horse without also bringing payment.

Except in special circumstances (mineral exploration, freshwater lakes and streams, easements, beaches, cemeteries) land owners do not have a legal obligation to let uninvited parties onto their land if it is privately-owned. In other words, the fact that a land owner is running an equine-related business on their land does not give uninvited or unauthorized persons the right to access the private land. Under Section 30.05 of the Texas Penal Code, a person commits criminal trespass if "he enters or remains on or in property of another without effective consent and he 1) had notice that the entry was forbidden; or 2) received notice to depart but failed to do so."

Additionally, the exempt rules for agriculture only apply when an agricultural product of more than $2500 per year are produced on the farm. If the area was only used to board horses, they may not be exempt.

Since I am the only one using thier member name...

And the orig has not returned...

My point was Horse ownership is much like that of a vehicle. Either by registration (registration vs. car title) or by BILL OF SALE common law.

As the PO had niether he IS a Thief.

The coggins was to demonstrate the PO's modus operandi and to give the SO something to rattle his cage with.

When cars are abandoned, you can get a new deed to the car, even though you have no bill of sake. Not the same.

[Postman]

Maybe on your planet.

Or Tiajauna, where a station wagon is considered a dwelling if it has 15 or more inhabitants or cable.

In any state of the U.S. A new title to an abandoned car or one that has been put together from parts can be obtained from the DMV. You just need proof of abandonment. You first get what we can a "junker title", then you can convert it to a new title.

And it clearly states on the title "SALVAGED"

PO is still a thief.
