Being a Texan myself, I can tell that the
"Don't Mess With Texas" signs are, more 
specifically, part of an ongoing and
someowhat sucessful anti-littering campiagn.  
At least, this phrase started off as a 
slogan in the anti-littering campaign. 
Since then, the slogan has been adapted, 
tongue-in-cheek as an insignia of 
expatriate Texans. They are espcially 
seen on the cars of Texans living in 
Colorado. However, I am an exception 
in that I am expatriate Texan in 
Louisiana and I don't have one on my 
car. I do have one in my work room at 
home.

Yours,

Paul
Baton Rouge, LA
