Acts 1983, 68th Leg., p. 3509, ch. 576, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 1984.
§ 30.05. CRIMINAL TRESPASS. (a) A person commits an

(b) For purposes of this section:
1) "Entry" means the intrusion of the entire body.

To make it simple if your property lines in Texas are marked with purple paint if someone crosses it they commmitting criminal trespass.I can't imagine someone not having there line marked.
