Fence law webinar launches Thursday
The “Fence Law” webinar is part of the Texas Range Webinar Series, scheduled the first Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m., said Megan Clayton, AgriLife Extension range specialist and webinar coordinator, Corpus Christi.
Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, AgriLife Extension agricultural law specialist, Amarillo, will be the presenter.
Lashmet is the host of the popular podcast “Ag Law in the Field” and author of the blog “Texas Agriculture Law Blog.”
She also conducts the Ranchers Leasing Workshop, which can be found online.
“Texas fence law is an area of much importance and inaccurate information,” Lashmet said. “This webinar will offer an overview of Texas fence law and highlights how the law applies to common issues such as livestock versus auto collisions on the roadway, estray livestock, neighbor fencing disputes and more.”
No Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units will be offered during this webinar, so attendance is free for all.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
