I shoot at my moms place occasionally and had a little back stop set up that was made of railroad ties and a few loads of sand that was fairly close to the property line.  Civilization is encroaching fast and I shut down my little shooting area becase a neighbor built their place fairly close to the property line also and didn't really want to make anyone mad or have the local sheriff come call on me.  I was wondering if anyone knows what the laws are regarding shooting in proximity of another persons domicile or property line?
Thanks

You sound like a good neighbor.  I'd suggest you check with the local law enforcement.  This kind of regulation varies by locality.  What might apply in a more populous county might not be the same as your county.  Then, again, the county might apply new regulations as a result of the expansion you mention.  So, it varies, and it's best to get the info. from the horse's mouth.

Things like this are covered by local ordinances.

True and not true.  In Texas, if it is county, and on your property, you can shoot.  If you fire over the road or persons home, it is like breach of peace.  The exact title is as follows.  
Text
§42.12.  Discharge of firearm in certain municipalities.

    (a)  A person commits an offense if the person recklessly discharges a firearm
inside the corporate limits of a municipality having a population of 100,000 or more.

    (b)  An offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.

    (c)  If conduct constituting an offense under this section also constitutes an
offense under another section of this code, the person may be prosecuted under either
section.

    (d)  Subsection (a) does not affect the authority of a municipality to enact an
ordinance which prohibits the discharge of a firearm.

(Added by L.1995, chap. 663(1), eff. 9/1/95.)


There are others, but that should cover your question!

Sounds like I'm covered since this is in Chambers County and in no way in a municipality or close to any city limits.  It used to be in B.F.E. when originally purchased but, since it is also waterfront, the property that used to be rice fields is turning into homesteads fast.  

I would be sure to check with the County before you shoot another round.  "Thinking" you are right is not always right.  Not being an ass, actually, just lookin out for ya.  Call and ensure.  The law may be black and white, but circumstances dictate.

Real simple.  well, simple concept but hard to implement sometimes.

Find out where your county codes are and read them.

See what they say about discharge of firearms.
