[QUOTE="baleflipper, post: 952169, member: 16896"] I learned today that the state of Texas has a law on the books that requires you to call 811, 2 weeks before digging post holes on your property. A "representative will come identify any utilities under your land." You are liable for any wiring or gas or water lines you hit digging post holes. To my way of thinking a land owner will know if an easement is on the property. My thoughts on this is we have lost more property rights. There are no utilities under ground on my land . I was informed that before I can dig corner posts holes I must call 811. I was also told this also holds true for mesquite root plowing also. Our property rights are being taken, If a pipe line from Canada wants to cross your land you cant stop them. If a developer needs water for land that does not even join yours they can condemn an easement for water lines and power lines. Just thought I would share this with yall. [/QUOTE]
