Have friends with 5-10 acres that we have shot on their property. I would think you would need to find land outside of city limits with the correct layout to shoot safely, then build up backstops to trap bullets that pass through paper or miss your steel targets.

The size doesn't matter much; it's about how it sits and what's beyond. I used to have just over one acre, and we had lots of shooting there. It had a high creek bank, backed by woods, and beyond that was a quarry.
Think about topography and safety, rather than size. |

City laws would be for within city limits, meaning how far from cities would generally mean you can't shoot within the boundaries of the city. You wouldn't want to be too close to a city though, in case the city expands and you suddenly find yourself inside city limits.
Outside of cities, it would be county law. (Incorporated vs unincorporated, townships, etc.). You can look at my old address on Google Maps, and see the kind of area it is; 8641 Highway O Villa Ridge, MO 63089-2233 Edit - The area isn't mapped well, but I was just to the left of that quarry. |

My property butts up to the local city and I have zero problem.
And, they will not be incorporating my property into their city limits as long as I own it.

Where I live there is always a faint rumor of them wanting to join St. Louis county but the city itself would have to vote to do it and that includes the people. |

You'll like Missouri, we have better gun and alcohol laws than Texas. Depending on what area you need to live in in the SW you'll find there is still some affordable land as well.
