Gibbs argued that she owed no duty to keep the horse off the road because the collision occurred on a farm-to-market road in a "free-range" area. The original trial court rejected her argument. A jury found Gibbs negligent and awarded Jackson $7,000 in damages plus costs. The Court of Appeals affirmed.

The Supreme Court reversed those opinions, stating that "with its policy-making authority, the Legislature has considered fence and livestock restraint laws for virtually every type of roadway over which it has jurisdiction. It is noteworthy that the Legislature has specifically excluded farm-to-market roads from such regulation. We think it unwise in this instance for the Court to erect barriers that the Legislature has declined to impose.

I'm having toasted Subway sub, spinach, and Heineken Light. Walking home from the gym, I put together:

A. I received a $5 Subway card as part of a rebate,
B. I received a buy-one-get-one coupon for a sub in the mail,
C. "$5 Footlong" ...

Interesting.

There are state and US routes in Texas though in open range areas with no fences and cattle guards. It's not like the FM/RM routes are the only ones that cross such areas.

No, because if you're not married, you shouldn't be doing it at all. With anybody.

Ah, logic fail on my part. Being married would be a necessary but not sufficient condition.

Good thing I'm not a programmer.

Just to put this to bed. It's the south, so jurisdictional philosophy demands regulation stay as close to home as possible. And it does:

Texas also has different laws for different kinds of roads. The Agriculture Code states that it is unlawful for a livestock owner to knowingly permit livestock to roam unattended on a U.S. or Texas state highway. Numbered farm-to-market roads are specifically excluded, unless they are in an area covered by a local stock election law.
