Purple posts are a symbol in Texas indicating "No Trespassing." The purple paint law was adopted by the 75th State Legislative Session as HB 793 and went into effect 1 September 1997.
I first learned about purple posts from one of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Outdoor Annual publications where it states:
Under the Texas Penal Code (§30.05) it is an offense for any person to enter property that is fenced, posted with a sign(s), or marked (purple paint) without the express permission of the owner. Posts or trees bearing purple paint marking of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width at not less than three or more than five feet from the ground constitute notice that the property is posted.
If you look closely while driving along country roads, you're sure to spot a few purple posts.
