Yes sir, I know and helped two folks who had to unphuck the mess a free state biologist suggested.
**The first thing I ask folks when they want to convert their property over to wildlife valuation.***
Do you want the county Tax Assessor to access your property?!?
When a land owner uses the Wildlife valuation, you open the door for the tax man to enter to verify such activities in the mangement plan, by agreeing to the special tax valuation. If the county reaches out to the land owner, you can refuse, but its highly advise NOT to refuse entry. So if the land owner has improvements that can't be seen by aerial photography, you bet the tax man on the ground will take notice. A refusal can potentially trigger roll back of taxes.
If the tax man reaches out to me(under Ag exemption; livestock), I can refuse entry, and tell them to pound sand, without any repercussions. Because the land use can be verified by aerial observation.

I would like to know if any of this information was brought up to your family's attention when they converted over to Wildlife.

That's Mr Asshole to you
They have more things going on with the land besides wildlife exemption. That is what they did to not have to do a traditional cattle lease. Between the CPA, oil/gas attorney, and my mom's attention to details with following guidelines, I am not concerned they are in danger of doing the wrong thing.
Not sure that right extends to livestock.

Ag activities can be observed from roadside/aerial, cows make defined trails, feeding areas, vegetation growth or lack of, crops, hay, timber mgt etc. Some counties are starting to use drone instead of satellite photography.
You give the tax man access by going with wildlife valuation.
TPWD:Tax Valuation for Wildlife Management FAQ
No inspection or visit requirement on Ag,.
In general the Tax man can request a visit no matter property type, you can refuse.

Didn't even know it was supposed rain today
Nice, our rain chances our increasing this afternoon and a little bit .ore tomorrow.
Just had some more hay delivered, I also put out a bale for the cows, the last 2 weeks here, we have been frying like bacon and ground is crunchy.
EDIT; Crap, if I don't get hay covered this evening it will rain. If I cover it, it will not rain.

I'm gone for a week and they think they can come back and start another hole, think again groundhogs!
Apparently I have been making bad choices the last 15 years walking around my house on concrete floors barefoot. A visit to the doctor was moderately good to confirm heel pain as just heel bursitis. I ordered orthopedic type shoes for around the house when I got home yesterday. Now I am supposed to take it easy for 3 to 4 weeks and make sure all my shoes have good support in them.

I am reading that you need to prop your feet up while watching TV and have the Sandwich Maker bring you beers at your demand.

Cannot steal what is not in the house.

Fuck I hate Facebook Marketplace. We bought new livingroom furniture a few days ago. It will be here next Friday. So we need to get rid of the old stuff. Its in good shape, so the wife puts it on Marketplace. She has about 15-20 people contact her. First person wanted to pick it up yesterday, we said no, then they said today at 9:00. Well its past 9:00 and they are not here. They came back and said 10. Lucky for them my wife is dealing with them. I would have told them to fuck right off. Anyhow, I did have her reply and say if they are not here at 10:00 they are done and its going to the next person. Fuck them.
I always put "first come first served" because I have been burnt holding something for someone only to have them want to haggle about the price.

Yep, I don’t hold shit for randoms unless you give me a non-refundable 20%. Then I’ll hold it until the agreed upon date but won’t extend for any reason. If you don’t pick it up on that date it’s going to the first person to show up. Thanks for the 20% extra.
