Quoted: But telling someone that is placing signs on an empty lot, that could easily be mistaken for one of the developers unsold lots(even if mowed), that he owns it don’t do that, instead taking the signs after she leaves is not wanting a conflict? By saying ‘crazy woman’ means op has knowledge of this person before hand? View Quote And besides that, OP has plenty of experience with trespassers and a friendly 'go away' has never worked well for him. |

Quoted: Trespass may be a tough sell if the property wasn't posted, but criminal mischief should be a slam dunk if she confessed to placing the signs without permission. View Quote Doesn't take much in Texas. A purple stripe painted on a post every so often serves as notice. |

And realtor Courtney Milfcox's concern is now about being an accessory to a terroristic threat via telephone. Class B misdemeanor in Texas.
I don't know how HPD works (I suspect not very well) but if you took this to the local PD in my area with a recording of the conversation and presumably caller ID info, they would follow up on it. |

Do you have any idea how often the "I called first" game backfires? I arrest reporting parties all the time. Hell, I arrested one last week, and one caught a summons last night View Quote OP's situation is a bit different though, considering the threat he received. I am curious if the realtor had already contacted police, and if they declined to get involved. |

Quoted: I'm planning on selling some land pretty soon due to explosive expansion in my area. Also the property taxes are getting insane around here as the appraisal from HCAD on this property went up 300%. Going to sell this and get some more rental homes.

Summary for the last 24 pages? View Quote Op owns a house with loads of feral cats. He goes out and sees someone put up Bernie 2020 posters on his land next to the lake. He goes to confront them and they appear to be a bunch of Asian women scantily clad making repetitive movements. He wonders if his wife is cheating on him since her panties smell like cum and she hasn't eaten in 27 days. Suddenly in flies this oddly shaped sweet potato along with 3 pit bulls. He see's a snek (not what it appears to be) and get's his .22 Nazi Mauser and proceeds to assault his significant other with a laptop. The rest should be pretty clear. ETA @CLICKBANGBANG |

Except for cases like this. The first one to call the police is often seen as the victim, and starting a paper trail early helps if things continue to escalate.

Quoted: No, op didn’t need to be a nice guy. “Hey, that’s my property!” Or “hey cunt, get those signs off my property!”.

Op wanted to do maximum damage. He was possibly the only one with any negative intent. As far as the calls she may or may not have had the ability to stop that guy after confiding, regardless that guy acted on his own behalf unless she paid him. Nice guy... lol.that’s retarded.

Quoted:
My neighbor would come out shooting with these sign stands that he got somewhere. They had targets on them already and I never really thought about where they came from. Turns out this was the same kind of real estate BS, and after they were basically destroyed, he would take the targets off and put them back View Quote Like someone else said- leave it on pubic property for weeks on end, you've forfeited it. |

Quoted: So engaging in a conversation with "Hey cunt!" is not being dramatic, but rolling your eyes, finishing unloading your tractor, and pulling up the signs as you mow makes OP a drama queen? Ooooook then... View Quote And making a detailed post about the whole thing, sock sandal feet and all? No, not in the slightest. |

If OP wants to get me one of those signs, I can have family bring it to the Netherlands next week and photo it in front of a windmill. Just a thought.

OP described no damage. There is no evidence of a criminal mischief here. I don't know where that posters getting his info. In fact, had OP interrupted and a fight had transpired, what would law enforcement say about his interceding? Lady had no permission to be on, nor place her signs on the property. That is the crux of this situation. Putting stuff on someone's else's property without permission, be it yard signs, trash, yard waste or Jimmy Hoffa's body is still trespassing and perhaps even another crime or three. Sux for the lady to lose her signs, but the onus was upon her to perform due diligence before placing them on someone else's property. She is also the one who chose to escalate it with the threats.... |

This could be like the traveling possum thread from years ago. Take her signs everywhere and take pics.
