Whether a highway is designated “Open Range” or not can make a big difference to some poor soul who runs into 1,000 pound cow on the road, late at night.
Our client found out the hard way when he got a bill for the cost of the cow including removal from the scene, etc….The reason, the area, surrounded by new subdivisions, had never changed its designation from “Open Range.”
Simply stated, “Open Range” means the livestock has the right of way. While not all that common in Eastern States, the west has lots of these areas still around. Texas is especially onerous since it takes a vote of the county, (no matter when), to remove the “Open Range” designation for each of the 254 counties. In this case the last recorded vote for “Open Range” was in 1928!

Proving again that the truth is stranger than fiction...
I pick out a specific case from the hundreds
that I have worked on in the past years and give you a brief
rendition of the facts and outcome. And, I may cover related topics.
Taking advantage of situations that have occurred to others may lead
you to say things to yourself like, “Boy I’m glad
that didn’t happen to me!” Anyway, for sheer entertainment
value, you’ll like them.
