Other than land owned by state, national and quasi-public entities like river authorities, Texas is all private property. If you ever saw a western movie, where someone came out on the front porch with a shotgun and told the sherrif to "get off my property," that was Texas.

There are miles and miles of Texas preserves and wildlife management areas that you may hike and not see another soul. Big Bend National or State Ranch are bigger than most states. Guadalupe Mountains are best seen by foot. However, you will register so that someone will know where you went. Its a safety measure.

Be save and have fun in Texas.
